How to correctly form a POST request through curl?

Question

Ruby on Rails

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Such a task: to check, you need to form a request in curl POST for the controller's create method.
The method accepts parameters:

params.require(:facebook_token).permit(:url, :login, :password, :proxies)

The following query almost accomplishes the task:

curl -d "facebook_token[url]=https:\//www.facebook.com\/dialog\/oauth?client_id=123456&redirec_uri=blablabla" -d "facebook_token[login][email protected]" -d "facebook_token[password]=54321" -d "facebook_token[proxies]=asdfghj"  http://localhost:3000/facebook_tokens.json

But the part of the facebook_token[url] parameter is cut off

&redirec_uri=blablabla

, i.e. the parameter gets

https:\//www.facebook.com\/dialog\/oauth?client_id=123456

.
How to fix it? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Two strings can be passed to curl with the d key:
respectively, your string

"facebook_token[url]=https:\//www.facebook.com\/dialog\/oauth?client_id=123456&redirec_uri=blablabla"

parsed into two parameters ( facebook_token[url]and redirec_uri)
Try escaping the ampersand or split it into two parameters facebook_token[url]and facebook_token[client_id].
