My goal is to upload a CouchDB document from my Windows machine to a remote server using cygwin/curl.
Here is a tutorial that shows how to do the same on a Mac:
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/getting-started-with-couchdb/
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5984/mycouchshop/ -d @person.json -H “Content-Type: application/json
How can I do the same with Windows & CygWin?
After opening cygwin.
step 1 – CD into the directory that contains the file you would like to post via CURL:
Note: The strange part is having to go through the “cygdrive” directory.
step 2 – Use CURL to send the file:
curl -X POST http://mywebsite.com/path/to/directory -d @some_file.extension -H "Content-Type: application/json"Replace “mywebsite.com…”, “some_file.extension” and “application/json” with actual values.
