How to POST URL in data of a curl request

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"

linux web-services bash curl http-post

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 :) )
