Curl request from AutoIT

[baselz]

Hi,

I'm failing to send Curl post command using AutoIT, basically I believe that the reason is having '!' special character in URL

I would be glad for help

; Construct JSON data
    Local $jsonData = '{"exit_status": ' & $exitStatus & ', "plugin_output": "' & $pluginOutput & '"}'

    ; Send CURL command
    Local $curlCommand = 'curl -X POST -k -H "Content-type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" --data "' & $jsonData & '" "https://<URL>/v1/actions/process-check-result?service=.com!passive.setEnv_check"'

If curl runs from command line, it'll run from AutoIt. That character has nothing to do with AutoIt.

Have you checked what the contents of $curlCommand is and did you think it was valid?

This runable version of your snipped:

; Construct JSON data
$exitStatus = 0
$pluginOutput = "x"
Local $jsonData = '{"exit_status": ' & $exitStatus & ', "plugin_output": "' & $pluginOutput & '"}'

; Send CURL command
Local $curlCommand = 'curl -X POST -k -H "Content-type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" --data "' & $jsonData & '" "https://<URL>/v1/actions/process-check-result?service=.com!passive.setEnv_check"'
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $curlCommand = ' & $curlCommand & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

give this as output:

@@ Debug(8) : $curlCommand = curl -X POST -k -H "Content-type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" --data "{"exit_status": 0, "plugin_output": "x"}" "https://<URL>/v1/actions/process-check-result?service=.com!passive.setEnv_check"

Doubt that this part is valid: --data "{"exit_status": 0, "plugin_output": "x"}"

I run curl command using this function 

Local $result = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $curlCommand, "", @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
ProcessWaitClose($result)

the Json is valid

Again. If it runs well from the command line, it will do the same from a function in AutoIt but to believe that the failure is due to AutoIt is wrong.
Humor me and run it at the command prompt. Basic troubleshooting.

@baselz

have you tried using:

?

@baselz, No sure why you quote my post? I gave you the reason why this must be failing, and you didn't respond at all to it.
Try reading the answer again and in case you do not understand simply ask.  

PS: My comment isn't about the validity of the json, but the validity of the command you have formed. Cut and Paste the full command into a CMD window and check if it works.
