Comment on REST-esting with cURL by Evgeny

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”.

One example is the reviewboard.org json api.

the command curl -X POST -d saved my life! I previously couldn’t manually POST to an RPX api function (now I can). Thanks a lot!

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

HTH,

I’ve been trying to use cURL to access a URL-shortening API like TinyURL, bit.ly, or tr.im. 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?

Comment on Tagging and branching with the Maven release plugin – a few pain points by Baptiste

Baptiste — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 20:41:19 +0000

IMHO, there should be a setting to override this *Check that there are no SNAPSHOT dependencies* behavior.

Well, I disagree with this one. I really think maven snapshot (and the release-plugin) handling is the right way to go.

Depending on a snapshot version ad vitam æternam gives you the risk to make your build unreproducible in the future (using the created tag).

IMO, the way to go in this particular case is the following (depending on snapshot version, because no other exists) :
* Install and configure (if not already done) a maven repository manager (archiva, nexus, artifactory… choose what you want)
* retrieve the corresponding jar/last version known to work with your code
* deploy it as a released version (deploy:deploy-file goal)
* use this jar as the dependency for the project you’re releasing.

HTH,
Cheers
