You probably want a '/' between the port and the URL:

http://www.somename.com:4482/?mobile=9198450XXXXX&message=test+for+me

Curl should probably accept it without, but it's a bit dubious.

Also, if you are doing this in a typical unix shell, like bash, you should
probably quote your URL, to keep the special characters like ? and & safe:

curl -v -G
'http://www.somename.com:4482?mobile=9198450XXXXX&message=test+for+me'

It also helps if you can post to the list in plain text (or at least, not
just in HTML), as your mail just shows up blank in my preferred mailer).

Hi,
 
  When I submit my URL using CURL on command prompt, i get an error no 408.
However when i submit the same URL to the borwser, i get the result
sucessfully.
 
 
curl -v -G
http://www.somename.com:4482?mobile=9198450XXXXX&message=test+for+me
Output:

408 All required parameters not found in the request. Please check for the

The above url works fine on browser but with CURL it gives the above error.
 
Thanx,
Chirag
 
P.S : I have used the site www.somename.com so as not to reveal the true site.
