I’m trying to make a request using CURL like this:
curl -X DELETE "https://myhost/context/path/users/OXYugGKg207g5uN/07V"
where OXYugGKg207g5uN/07V is a hash, so I suppose that I need to encode before do this request.
I have tried curl -X DELETE --data-urlenconded "https://myhost/context/path/users/OXYugGKg207g5uN/07V"
Some ideas?
Since you are in a bash environment, you could encode the hash OXYugGKg207g5uN/07V before passing it to curl.
A straight-forward approach would be to use its byte representation %4f%58%59%75%67%47%4b%67%32%30%37%67%35%75%4e%2f%30%37%56
To get that, call:
echo -ne "OXYugGKg207g5uN/07V" | xxd -plain | tr -d '\n' | sed 's/\(..\)/%\1/g'
It will give you: %4f%58%59%75%67%47%4b%67%32%30%37%67%35%75%4e%2f%30%37%56
The complete one-liner including curl in bash/zsh/sh/… would look like this:
curl -X DELETE "https://myhost/context/path/users/$(echo -ne "OXYugGKg207g5uN/07V" | xxd -plain | tr -d '\n' | sed 's/\(..\)/%\1/g')"
and is equivalent to
curl -X DELETE "https://myhost/context/path/users/%4f%58%59%75%67%47%4b%67%32%30%37%67%35%75%4e%2f%30%37%56"
This solution is not very pretty, but it works.
I hope you find this helpful.
sed 's/\(..\)/%\1/g') is inside the $() evaluation, so escaping parenthesis is required. Without escaping them, sed will throw this error in sh, bash and zsh: \1 not defined in the RE.
If really OXYugGKg207g5uN/07V is the hash then you need to encode that, not the whole url. You can use an encoding function available inside the environment you use cURL in.
--data-urlenconded? Spelling this correctly might help you.
