    text
    copied!<p>I have installed cURL command line for windows.</p> <p>Now I want to use this cURL for a REST api (redmine).</p> <p>The most basic script I want to create is to push a new "past". But the problem is, one past can contains multiline text.</p> <p>To put a new past I use:</p> <pre><code>curl -k -s -H "X-Redmine-API-Key: %API_KEY%" --data-urlencode "paste[text]=%TEXT%" %URL% </code></pre> <p>But the problem is when %TEXT% is composed by more than one line, the windows cmd failed.</p> <p>Ex:</p> <pre><code>curl -k -s -H "X-Redmine-API-Key: XXXXXX" --data-urlencode "paste[text]=ST_METHOD_POST', 'POST', true); define('HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_PUT', 'PUT', true); define('HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_DELETE', 'DELETE', true);" "https://etc" </code></pre> <p>And cmd stops after the first newline...</p> <p>I try parse TEXT before running cmd by adding ^ at the end of the line to simulate multiline win cmd but does not work...</p> <hr> <p><strong>Update 1:</strong></p> <p>I try </p> <pre><code>curl -k -s -H "X-Redmine-API-Key: %API_KEY%" --data-urlencode "paste[text]@tmp.txt" %URL% </code></pre> <p>where tmp.txt equals to</p> <pre><code>hello world </code></pre> <p>but the request is transformed to</p> <pre><code>{"paste":{"id":xxx,"author_id":xxx,"project_id":xxx,"title":"Paste #xxx","text":"  ■h\u0000e\u0000l\u0000l\u0000o\u0000 \u0000w\u0000o\u0000r\u0000l\u0000d\u0000", "created_on":"2012-11-26T09:24:15Z","updated_on":"2012-11-26T09:24:15Z"}} </code></pre> <p>And the final result does not work</p>
