 Now we can do normal SET and GET operations on keys as we explored earlier.
 
 ```sh
-curl http://127.0.0.1:4001/v1/keys/foo -d value=bar
+curl http://127.0.0.1:4001/v1/keys/foo -d value=bar -L
 ```
+When the client sends a sensitive command (```set```, ```delete```, ```testAndset``` ) to the server, the command needs to be redirect to the leader of the cluster.
 
+So we add the ``` -L ``` flag to make curl follow location hints in http location header when there is a redirection http response.

 ```json
 {"action":"SET","key":"/foo","value":"bar","newKey":true,"index":5}
 ```
