I'm trying to get this tutorial to work in CMD and Windows Powershell (Windows 7 64): http://www.elasticsearchtutorial.com/elasticsearch-in-5-minutes.html
The first command already doesn't work in CMD:
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/blog/user/dilbert' -d '{ "name" : "Dilbert Brown" }'
I get the following error message:
curl: (1) Protocol 'http not supported or disabled in libcurl
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: name
curl: (7) Failed to connect to port 80: Connection refused
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: Dilbert Brown
curl: (3) [globbing] unmatched close brace/bracket in column 1
In Windows Powershell I get:
{"error":"MapperParsingException[failed to parse]; nested: JsonParseException[Unrecognized token 'Dilbert': was expecting ('true', 'false' or 'null')\n at [Source: [B#132b73b; line: 1, column: 33]]; ","status":400}curl: (3) [globbing] unmatched close brace/bracket in column 7
The same command works without any problems in Cygwin. How would I have to write the command to make it work in CMD and Windows Powershell?
In PowerShell, the command is being called correctly, from a parsing perspective.
In cmd.exe, the single quotes are not valid. You will need to use double quotes to surround values.
curl -XPUT "http://localhost:9200/blog/user/dilbert" -d "{ \"name\" : \"Dilbert Brown\" }"

Capital -D option is not in my curl at least, maybe you meant -d aka --data?
Anyway the problem seems to be that curl understands your request as multiple command-line parameters rather than a request string for -D.
At least you have to add " right after -D and a space, and one at the end, and escape all " in the request as ^".
But even that may not be enough - then the easiest option is to read the request from a file with curl --data #filename-of-request.txt
If you want to keep everything in one file, try sending request data through a stream like this:
(
echo line 1 of your request
echo line 2 of your request
...................
echo line N of your request
) | curl --data #- OTHER-CURL-PARAMETERS-HERE
here:
echo something outputs something to stdout stream (default - on screen)
echo simply outputs its commandline so it's much more tolerant to special characters in the command line, but you may still need to escape some of them with ^
| (pipe) redirects echo's stdout into curl's stdin stream
( ... ) make cmd bunch several echo output together
please note: the output will include line breaks
instead you can try bunching up all the text into one echo with ^-at-line-end trick you used
--data #file makes curl read POST data from file
#- specifies stdin as file which is where echo output went
I installed Xpack for elasticsearch, and tried to to change the password as it says here:

Running this:

I can't seem to get it, no matter what combination of " or ' I'm using. Please help!

This is general problem of Windows users. You can use Sense Chrome Plugin or Kibana Dev Tools instead.
curl -XPUT -u elastic localhost:9200/_xpack/security/user/elastic/_password -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"password\" : \"elasticpassword\"}"
Please check the elastic developer response about this situation:

I'm writing a bash script using cURL to call an API. I'm generating some part of the contents transforming strings coming out from other sources.
From the db the spaces are replaced with "_SPACE_" string for application reasons.
I'm replacing it using
ITEM=${M//_SPACE_/ }
and then I call cURL as follow:
curl ... --data '{"field": "'$ITEM'"}' ...
Running the script it returns an exception on curl execution
curl: (3) [globbing] unmatched close brace/bracket in column 21
org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException: Unexpected end-of-input in VALUE_STRING
at [Source: org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteInputStream#185ff06c; line: 4, column: 139]
The exception
org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException: Unexpected end-of-input in VALUE_STRING ...
says that your lib from codehouse is not able to parse the data object which is send via curl. i could imagin that your --data '{"field": "'$ITEM'"}' object fails because of the single quotes '$ITEM'. could u send the complete data object or script ?
I'm learning feathersjs as per below link
http://feathersjs.com/quick-start/
I need to run below command and monitor the output at http://localhost:3000/todo
curl 'http://localhost:3000/todos/' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{ "text": "Do something" }'
When I tried to run below on cmd, it shows 'curl' is not recognized in cmd prompt.
If I tried to run it using git-bash.exe, bash.exe or sh.exe (in Git/bin or shell.w32-ix86), Cygwin.bat (in cygwin64), it will run fine and showing result in browser.
[{"text":"Do something","id":0}]
But if tried to run it by including into my PATH "C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin, which has curl.exe", I will be getting below error, but "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin" will do just fine...
curl: (1) Protocol "'http" not supported or disabled in libcurl
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'application'
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host text'
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'Do something'
curl: (3) [globbing] unmatched close brace/bracket in column 1
I managed to remove the error with below command
curl "http://localhost:3000/todos/" -H "Content-Type: 'application/json'" --data-binary "{ 'text': 'Do something' }"
But the resulting output will have the Json object "text" missing...
[{"text":"Do something","id":0},{"id":1}]
Question:
1) After modifying the command, the Json object is not parsed successfully. Is there a syntax problem?
2) If there is no syntax problem, does this means that curl need to be run in Unix environment as per original attempt, that it cant be run in cmd directly, but will function ok in bash, cygwin, etc2?
3) What is the difference between curl.exe in C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin and C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin, which has curl.exe?
Update:
Not OK Raw Cap output
http.content_type == "'application/json'"
OK Raw Cap output
http.content_type == "application/json"
Update2:
Removing single quote in application/json on the 2nd command... shows error

Update 3:
Tried to replace libcurl-4.dll used by curl.exe. Downloaded libcurl from "http://curl.haxx.se/download.html", MingW32 from "http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS/" and added "C:\MinGW\bin" to PATH. Then grep -rl "libcurl.dll" . | xargs sed -i 's/libcurl.dll/libcurl-4.dll/g' to create libcurl-4.dll as per suggested "http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2010-11/0174.html". Then execute ./buildconfig, make, make install. Then copied the libcurl-4.dll to C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin folder, but the result is the same...
Update 4
Changing origin of curl.exe but still using same command, shows error on the mingw64 version. I'm suspecting that mingw64 curl need special escaping to make it work?
C:\Users\testUser\Documents\Framework\Javascript\featherstestNewService>"C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\curl.exe" 'http://localhost:3000/todos/' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{ "text": "Do something" }'
curl: (1) Protocol "'http" not supported or disabled in libcurl
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'application'
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'text'

{"text":"Do something","id":38}
Update 5
From manual... curl --manual
-d, --data <data>
(HTTP) Sends the specified data in a POST request to the HTTP
server, in the same way that a browser does when a user has
filled in an HTML form and presses the submit button. This will
cause curl to pass the data to the server using the content-type
application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Compare to -F, --form.
-d, --data is the same as --data-ascii. --data-raw is almost the
same but does not have a special interpretation of the # charac-
ter. To post data purely binary, you should instead use the
--data-binary option. To URL-encode the value of a form field
you may use --data-urlencode.
If any of these options is used more than once on the same com-
mand line, the data pieces specified will be merged together
with a separating &-symbol. Thus, using '-d name=daniel -d
skill=lousy' would generate a post chunk that looks like
'name=daniel&skill=lousy'.
If you start the data with the letter #, the rest should be a
file name to read the data from, or - if you want curl to read
the data from stdin. Multiple files can also be specified. Post-
ing data from a file named 'foobar' would thus be done with
--data #foobar. When --data is told to read from a file like
that, carriage returns and newlines will be stripped out. If you
don't want the # character to have a special interpretation use
--data-raw instead.
So I tried...
C:\Users\testUser>"C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\curl.exe" "http://localhost:3000/todos/" -H "'Content-Type:' 'application/json'" --data-binary text=doing --data complete=false
{"text":"doing","complete":"false","id":145}
C:\Users\testUser>"C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\curl.exe" "http://localhost:3000/todos/" -H "'Content-Type:' 'application/json'" --data-binary text=ding
{"text":"ding","id":146}
But I cant figure out how to make more than 1 word for the JSON object for example instead of "doing", I need "doing something". Seems that MingW64 git curl is accepting different format...
After modifying the curl command it works for you, because you need to use double quote for windows system.
After modifying the command, you have mistakenly added single quote around the application/json. That's why despite of having working curl command server was unsure what you have exactly sent to them!
"Content-Type: 'application/json'"
^ ^ notice the unwanted singles
So it should be
"Content-Type: application/json"
If you do not provide path for any binary (i.e. curl.exe, mysql.exe, php.exe, etc) then system looks for them inside the available paths provided in PATH variable and if they found multiple path there then it will only select one, and I don't know which one!
In the test script so many times I use the command "curl". In order to optimize the code, I want options of "curl" to carry out in a global variable.
I read the terms of use of "curl", and it says that to pass a parameter that contains spaces must be to frame it in single quotes.
But it is not working.
$ curl_options="-i -L -k -S --connect-timeout 30 --user-agent 'Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.14'"
$ curl $curl_options "http://google.com"
Output Result:
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host'' Opera '
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host '(Windows'
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'NT'
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host '6 .1; '
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'WOW64)'
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'Presto'
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'Version'
In bash, you should use an array. This way, you don't need to worry whether a space in the string is part of an option, or separating two options:
curl_options=( ... )
curl_options+=( "--user-agent" "Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.14")
curl "${curl_options[#]}" "http://google.com"
If you can't use arrays (e.g., they aren't available in the shell you are using), you'll have to fall back to using eval:
$ curl_options="-i -L -k -S --connect-timeout 30 --user-agent 'Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.14'"
$ eval "curl $curl_options http://google.com"
This isn't ideal, since you need to be very careful about how you set the value of curl_options, because eval has no knowledge about what the value represents. The shell merely interpolates the value into the string passed to eval, and eval executes it. Typos can have unintended consequences.
