Re: Question on -u in curl
Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2012 12:48:44 -0800 (PST)
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???
