I am trying to post two parameters using curl, path and fileName:
curl --request POST 'http://localhost/Service' --data "path='/xyz/pqr/test/'&fileName='1.doc'" I know something is wrong in this. I have to use something like URLEncode. I tried many things still no luck.
Please give an example how can I post the url in data of curl request.

To make a GET request using Curl, run the curl command followed by the target URL. Curl automatically selects the HTTP GET request method unless you use the -X, --request, or -d command-line option.
POST request in itself means sending information in the body. I found a fairly simple way to do this. Use Postman by Google, which allows you to specify the content-type (a header field) as application/json and then provide name-value pairs as parameters. Just use your URL in the place of theirs.
To post form data with Curl, you can use one of two command-line parameters: -F (--form) or -d (--data). The -F command-line parameter sends form data with the multipart/form-data content type, and the -d command-line parameter sends form data with the application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type.
Perhaps you don't have to include the single quotes:
curl --request POST 'http://localhost/Service' --data "path=/xyz/pqr/test/&fileName=1.doc" Update: Reading curl's manual, you could actually separate both fields with two --data:
curl --request POST 'http://localhost/Service' --data "path=/xyz/pqr/test/" --data "fileName=1.doc" You could also try --data-binary:
curl --request POST 'http://localhost/Service' --data-binary "path=/xyz/pqr/test/" --data-binary "fileName=1.doc" And --data-urlencode:
curl --request POST 'http://localhost/Service' --data-urlencode "path=/xyz/pqr/test/" --data-urlencode "fileName=1.doc" I don't think it's necessary to use semi-quotes around the variables, try:
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost/Service' -d "path=%2fxyz%2fpqr%2ftest%2f&fileName=1.doc" %2f is the escape code for a /.

Also, do you need to specify a port? ( just checking :) )
