Hi there,

this is probably a real noob problem but I am experiencing an issue where whenever I try to create a document on CouchDB using curl, I get an "Invalid UTF-8 JSON" error. The example I am trying to use is actually from O'Reilly's book "CouchDB: The Definitive Guide" and I am pretty sure that I have tried it before and got it to work. Here's the command:

|curl-X PUT http://username:[email protected]:5984/albums/6e1295ed6c29495e54cc05947f18c8af -d 
'{"title":"There is Nothing Left to Lose","artist":"Foo Fighters"}'
|

The database albums exists and the username and password are correct. I have checked this with JSONLint and the JSON is valid and I am at a loss ... presumably there is an issue with the CouchDB server itself but it appears to be running correctly ... any ideas? This is driving me nuts!

I am running CouchDB 0.11 on Windows 7. curl is installed and working correctly as far as I can tell. Sofa is working correctly and I can create documents via Sofa with no issues.

Thanks,

Andrew
