One example is the reviewboard.org json api. Some json web services expect their input in multipart form-data, so instead of doing -d”user=a&pass=b” you need to do -F”user=a” -F”pass=b”.

In this case, "%26". You need to do this since "&" is treated as a query parameter separator. So the example would look like: curl -d "url=http://www.prh.noaa.gov/ptwc/?region=1%26id=pacific.2009.04.18.193652" http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php Output tiny url: http://tinyurl.com/c6tu9n Another example: $ curl -d "url=http://www.prh.noaa.gov/ptwc/?region=1%26id=pacific.2009.04.18.193652" http://api.tr.im/api/trim_simple Output: http://tr.im/knmk HTH, RAS Brian,
You need to encode the “&” sign since it’s part of the “url” query parameter. In this case, “%26″. You need to do this since “&” is treated as a query parameter separator.

So the example would look like:
curl -d “url=http://www.prh.noaa.gov/ptwc/?region=1%26id=pacific.2009.04.18.193652″ http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php

Output tiny url: http://tinyurl.com/c6tu9n

Another example:
$ curl -d “url=http://www.prh.noaa.gov/ptwc/?region=1%26id=pacific.2009.04.18.193652″ http://api.tr.im/api/trim_simple

Output: http://tr.im/knmk

My problem for all three of these is that I need to pass it a long URL that contains multiple parameters itself, e.g., curl -d "url=http://www.prh.noaa.gov/ptwc/?region=1&id=pacific.2009.04.18.193652" http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php curl -d "url=http://www.prh.noaa.gov/ptwc/?region=1&id=pacific.2009.04.18.193652" http://api.tr.im/api/trim_simple The result is always the same: it truncates the long url at the & (therefore only using the first argument, region, instead of both, region and id). Any ideas? I’ve been trying to use cURL to access a URL-shortening API like TinyURL, bit.ly, or tr.im.
