When using the bash anyway, arrays are the thing to use! |

I can't find one. Seems to be some curl weirdness layered on top. Even |
| 28 |
with |
| 29 |
strace -eexecve curl "$url" -d "mydata" $curl_opts |
| 30 |
and (quoted, escaped etc.) variations thereof, I haven't found a |
| 31 |
version that works. |

If you want to just DL some stuff, with POST, no proxy, why not use |
| 34 |
wget? |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
wget --post-data="mydata" --no-proxy "$url" |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
(and if you want the result on stdout, just add '-O -', i.e.: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
wget --post-data="mydata" --no-proxy -O - "$url" |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
). Or if you want the options as such: |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
url=... |
| 45 |
wget_opts="--no-proxy -O -" ### special chars need to be |
| 46 |
### once-escaped when using |
| 47 |
### options/arguments with spaces, |
| 48 |
### quotes etc. |
| 49 |
post_data="foo=bar" |
| 50 |
set -x |
| 51 |
wget ${wget_opts} --post-data="$post_data" "$url" |
| 52 |
### ^^^^^^^^^^^^ no quotes here, or use an array! |
