Kevin,

~ The extra dashes got in there from my mail client somehow...they aren't in the script.

~ The example you included below is my last example of the didn't work group. The man page for curl
actually shows the use of multiple -d's as such:

Thus, using '-d name=daniel -d skill=lousy' would generate a post chunk that looks
like 'name=daniel&skill=lousy'.

Don't know if the single ' before the 1st -d and after the work lousy are supposed to indicate
wrapping multiple -d's within quotes or not...a little confusing in that case.

Anyway, I figured out the putting \ immediately after each & will allow me to split long lines and
still have the script post correctly (my mistake was having a space between the & and the \ as it
turned out).

Thanks for the input and the reply...never was able to get multiple -d's working.

Thanks again.

Kevin Martin

Each -d is a separate argument. Don't wrap them all inside one set of
quotes, but rather wrap EACH one in quotes.

Like this:

curl -v \
- - -d "txtNum=9876543210" \
- - -d "txtFrom=kevintm%40blah.com" \
- - -d "txtMessage=Help.+Im+caught+in+a+vortex." \
- - -d "hdnpublic=1" \
- - -d "msgTermsUse=on" www.t-mobile.com/messaging/default.asp

Also, why the extra (?) "-"'s at the beginning of each line? Is that a
shell thing? curl.exe doesn't need it...

- - Kevin
