I want to test an API using curl for Mac.

According to the REST API documentation/forums, the URL should look like this:

 http://localhost:8080/sdpapi/request/?OPERATION_NAME=ADD_REQUEST&<your API key>&<Operation>    <Details><requester>Me</requester><subject>Test</subject><description>Testing Curl Input</description></Details></Operation>

Here is what I have come up with for the curl command line input:

curl -X POST -d "OPERATION_NAME=ADD_REQUEST&TECHNICIAN_KEY=0...87&INPUT_DATA=<Operation><Details><requester>Me</requester><subject>Test</subject><description>Testing curl input</description></Details></Operation>" http://myserver.mydomain.org/sdpapi/request/  

I haven’t tried it yet because I am BRAND NEW to this and I’m sure there are problems. Does this look OK and should I give it a whirl?
