Is there a way to use cURL commands in Azure Data Factory?

Question

So I am trying to create a Pipeline in Azure Data Factory and part of the process involves uploading a CSV to a temporary URL generated earlier in the Pipeline by an earlier REST API request. The API's documentation say's to use a cURL command or "a similar application". I have gotten the cURL command to work on my local environment but have had no luck doing it in ADF. the cURL command I am currently using is curl --upload-file "<file location>" "<api URL>" --ssl-no-revoke -v

While ADF supports web requests, it does not seem to support cURL commands at least directly. Currently I am trying to automate the cURL command through a Automation Account which runs a PowerShell Script and then use a web hook to continue from there within the pipeline but I have my doubt that this will work due to having to pass the temporary URL from the pipeline to the PowerShell script.

The questions can be summed up as follows:

• Is it possible to put a cURL command in a web request? I have not found any good examples of this as most cURL commands seem to take place in PowerShell and Command Prompt
• Is there some ADF functionality I am not aware of that runs cURL commands?
• What are the alternatives to cURL that I could use for this process? Are they friendlier than cURL when it comes to ADF?
• Any other potential advice I may need to know

I appreciate any input on this matter!

Only way to do that is by creating your own batch / *.bat files which have the curl commands in it and execute them from server side, you may save results on text files which you can also read them from your server side.
