How to use CURL/CygWin to send files from local Windows machine to Server?
My goal is to upload a CouchDB document from my Windows machine to a remote server using cygwin/curl.
Here is a tutorial that shows how to do the same on a Mac: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/getting-started-with-couchdb/
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5984/mycouchshop/ -d @person.json -H "Content-Type: application/json
How can I do the same with Windows & CygWin?
After opening cygwin.
step 1 - CD into the directory that contains the file you would like to post via CURL:
cd ../
cd /cygdrive/c/Users/[put user name here]/Documents/[more directories here]/
Note: The strange part is having to go through the "cygdrive" directory.
step 2 - Use CURL to send the file:
curl -X POST http://mywebsite.com/path/to/directory -d @some_file.extension -H "Content-Type: application/json"
Replace "mywebsite.com...", "some_file.extension" and "application/json" with actual values.
Looks like you got it. Also on Windows, the single-quote ( ' ) is not allowed. Use double-quote for your JSON data and then use " for double-quotes inside the JSON.
curl -XPUT http://localhost:5984/db/doc -d "{"like": "this"}"
