Like the title says. I'm sending a simple cUrl cmd from Win7 to CouchDB on my Linux box, and it doesn't work. But if I run the same command in Linux, it works. I'm sending this:
curl -X POST 192.168.2.5:5984/test/testdoc -d '{"owner":{"fname":"test","lname":"ing"}}'
From windows, it keeps giving me a "error: bad request, reason:invalid UTF-8 JSON". I can run GET commands from windows just fine, I just can't seem to POST to CouchDB.

We might have come across errors like “curl: command not found” while working in the terminal. This type of error comes due to only one reason: the relevant package is not installed. Curl is a very popular data transfer command-line utility used for downloading and uploading data from or to the server.
cURL is free, open software that runs under various operating systems. This tutorial demonstrates cURL on a Windows 64-bit operating system that is enabled for the secure sockets layer (SSL). The authentication aspects of the Messaging Cloud Service require an SSL-enabled environment.
Unfortunately, the Windows shell (cmd.exe) uses quote marks differently from Mac OSX and Linux.
The simplest fix is to avoid single-quotes and use double quotes, with the double-quotes in the JSON document escaped:
curl -X PUT 192.168.2.5:5984/test/testdoc -d "{\"owner\":{\"fname\":\"test\",\"lname\":\"ing\"}}"
{"ok":true,"id":"testdoc","rev":"1-299729b3cb92a371136cb7331c66644d"}
Another option is to install a different shell such as Bash for Windows: http://win-bash.sourceforge.net/. Then you can follow documentation and do your own experiments more easily.
