I finally figured out how to use curl to GET results, i.e. just turn all spaces into '%20' in my type of queries. I'm using solar spatial, and then searching in both the default text field and a couple of columns. Works fine on in the browser.
But if I query for it using curl in PHP, there's an error somewhere in the JSON. I don't know if it's in the PHP food chain or something else. Just putting my solution to GETing from curl in PHP and my problem up here, for others to find. Of course, if anyone knows the answer, all the better.
