As neilparikh already commented it does take POSTed data, you can use it as such: curl -d "$(cat test.rb)" http://hastebin.com/documents Which returns: {"key":"kixuxorico"} Meaning you can find it at http://hastebin.com/kixuxorico http://hastebin.com/kixuxorico If you wanted to be slightly more complex, you could define a quick bash function such as: haste() { curl -sd "$(cat $1)" http://hastebin.com/documents | sed -e 's/{"key":"/http:\/\/hastebin.com\//' -e "s/\"}/\.$(echo $1 | sed -e 's/.*\.//')\n/"; } or in a single line: haste() { curl -sd "$(cat $1)" http://hastebin.com/documents | sed -e 's/{"key":"/http:\/\/hastebin.com\//' -e "s/\"}/\.$(echo $1 | sed -e 's/.*\.//')\n/"; } Then use it as: haste test.rb Which returns: http://hastebin.com/momawevota.rb
