Hi Andrew
This is a windows thing regarding quoting - a real PITA. Unfortunately
cmd.exe shell on windows doesn't parse this correctly.
The rules for when escaping with a "" or a ^" or a \" are a bit vague
but this works:
C:\tmp>curl -X PUT
http://@127.0.0.1:5984/albums/6e1295ed6c29495e54cc05947f18c8af -d
"{\"title\":\"There is Nothing Left to Lose\",\"artist\":\"Foo
Fighters\"}"
{"ok":true,"id":"6e1295ed6c29495e54cc05947f18c8af","rev":"1-4b39c2971c9ad54cb37e08fa02fec636"}
C:\tmp>
"basically you need to \"escape\" all \"quotes\" within your JSON"
Is there any way we to get this updated in the online book?
A+

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
Thank you,
that worked.
Regards,
Andrew
