Question

I am trying to send a HTTP POST via CURL on the command line. I am doing something wrong. Could someone advise me on what’s wrong with my command? I am doing the following:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" https://www.url-here.com -d {JSON OBJECT HERE}

If you add -v you’ll get a verbose error message, could help with debugging.

According to the manual, you should put options before the url.

This is a curl call I’m using for testing at the moment, which work just fine:

curl -v -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d '{}' http://example.com
