Re: Question on -u in curl

When sending a password to ldap using the –u option if the password as a $ it is removing it and the next character from being passed. We looked at the packet actually going to lpda and it is missing the $ and then next character. So what it says in the packet trace is 123@#b instead of 123@#$ab   -u "domain\659967:123@#$ab"   Any ideas???     > Try to escape the meta character $: > bash-3.00$ echo "you owe me $a dollars" > you owe me  dollars > bash-3.00$ echo "you owe me \$a dollars" > you owe me $a dollars > So in your case: > -u "domain\659967:123@#\$ab"
