Curl jugl

Hello,

When I execute this command within a terminal it works fine. Bu when I execute it from within a shell script (test.sh) it fails to execute properly.

terminal

Code:

curl -i -k  -H "authorization-code: <HASH>" -H Content-Type:application/tst.server.commandParams+xml -X POST https://xxx.xxx.xxx/api/test/test-sadasd-asdewfdsf-dsfsdfsdf-dsf/action/rework -d "@deploy-request"

Shell script (test.sh)

Code:

EXEC=`curl -i -k -H "$authHeader" -H "Content-Type:application/tst.server.commandParams+xml" -X POST "$HREF""/action/rework" -d "@deploy-request"`

The latter one does not work when executed from within the shell script.
I think because the $authHeader contains a space and maybe also special characters.

Can someone please help me with only this problem?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

When you run that command from a shell script it runs it in a subshell. Do the variables you create in your script exist in that subshell (did you export them?)? I'd check with some echo commands for the values that the used variables have.

Kind regards,

Eric

An echo shows:

Code:

-H Content-Type:application/tst.server.commandParams+xml -X POST...................

So I think the space in the $authHeader is causing problems.

How can I cope with the space in that variable?

Thank you in advance.
