Question

When I try to use curl command in my shell script I get the following error message: curl: (1) Protocol “http not supported or disabled in libcurl
When I use the curl command with the same http:// argument on my terminal, I get a response from the site. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Update

var4="localhost:8983/xxx?yyy";
var5="-F stream.url=nexus.cvs.ula.abc.html";
var6='"'$var4'" '$var5
curl $var6

Answer 1

The error message

curl: (1) Protocol "http not supported or disabled in libcurl

makes me think that the URL you’re passing may be

"http://someserver/somelink"

instead of

http://someserver/somelink

and curl is thinking that " is part of the url.

EDIT:

Based on your update, I’d say it should be:

var4="http://localhost:8983/xxx?yyy";
var5="-F stream.url=nexus.cvs.ula.abc.html";
curl $var5 $var4
