Windows: curl with json data on the command line

Question

I am running the following command in Windows prompt:

curl -XPUT http://127.0.0.1:9200/test-index/test-type/_mapping?pretty=true -d \'{\"test-type\": {\"prop         


        

Answer 1

Windows's cmd doesn't support strings with single quotes. Use " and escape the inner ones with \".

Answer 2

"I searched for solutions and found alternatives such as put json data in files, but I cannot use it for some reasons"

This should work, with hello.json in temp. The @ is requried.

c:\temp>curl -v -X PUT  \ 
             --data "@hello.json"  \
             -H "Content-Type:application/json"  \
             http://localhost:8080/api/myresource
