Special characters like @ and & in cURL POST data

Question

How do I include special characters like @ and & in the cURL POST data? I\'m trying to pass a name and password like:

curl -d name=john passwd=@31&3*         


        

Answer 1

How about using the entity codes...

@ = %40

& = %26

So, you would have:

curl -d 'name=john&passwd=%4031%263*J' https://www.mysite.com
