Example call from CURL in Bash

This assumes that the docker image was deployed to localhost on port 9021 and that you are in the test directory of this project where there are two files: one named watermark.pdf and another named my.pdf.

curl -F "rtf=@sample.rtf" http://localhost:9022/convert > sample.html

Example call from CURL in PHP

You could use any language that supports http request. This assumes that the docker image was deployed to localhost on port 9022 and that you are in the test directory of this project where there are two files: one named logo.png and another named styles.css. You can simply run the example.php file in the test directory of this project or use the code below.

<?php
  $ch = curl_init("http://localhost:9022/convert");
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, [
      'rtf' =>  new \CurlFile(__DIR__.'/sample.rtf','text/rtf','sample.rtf')
  ]);
  $result = curl_exec($ch);
  file_put_contents("output.html", $result);
