Thank you for a prompt response.

Yes, you were wright in saying that the URL string was not right.

AS I mentioned, I am new to cURL and thus by mistake, all the 3 command line
args that I wanted to post to curl, I gave them in URL string.

Below mentioned are the 3 command line args that I wanted to send to
YouTube:

curl \
  --location https://www.google.com/youtube/accounts/ClientLogin \
  --data 'Email=testuser&Passwd=testpw&service=youtube&source=Test' \
  --header 'Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded'

Response to this will be an authentication key.

Response:
Auth=AIwbFARksypDdUSGGYRI_5v7Z9TaijoPQqpIfCEjTFPAikn_---OC-I1VJtQ

I know how to post separate commands from command line in cURL but can
you tell me how do I
send all three of these together so that I can get an authentication
code from YouTube as a response?

Thanks,
Tanmay
