curl-users

Query string not working using cURL

I've read the cURL tutorial (http://curl.haxx.se/docs/httpscripting.html)

When I navigate to the following in a browser:

http://www.kayak.com/s/search/air?do=y&ft=rt&ns=y&cb=e&pa=1&l1=MSP&t1=e&df=us1&d1=05/20/2010&l2=PHX&t2=e&d2=05/23/2010&b=US

I get the results back that I expect.

When I type the below in the terminal window from my computer running Ubuntu
Desktop 9.10:

curl -d
"do=y&ft=rt&ns=y&cb=e&pa=1&l1=MSP&t1=e&df=us1&d1=05/20/2010&l2=PHX&t2=e&d2=05/23/2010&b=US"
http://www.kayak.com/s/search/air

I get the following back (garbage):

The above cURL command line format that I tried above is thoroughly
explained in section *4.2 Post* of the CURL tutorial.

I strongly suspect that I am doing something wrong, but I couldn't find it
in the tutorial or by Googling it.

As a note - curl from the command line works just fine when using
yahoo.comfor example.

Is there anyone experienced in this matter?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott
