Hi Jens, This is the command, really. Actually, I discovered that if I put quotes around the URL I don't need to escape the offending character(s) works fine:
TurboMonkey:_design tito$ curl "http://127.0.0.1:5984/test/_design/test/_view/test-byTown?startkey=%5B%22foo%20ca%22%5D&endkey=%5B%22foo%20ca%22,%7B%7D%5D"; {"total_rows":2,"offset":0,"rows":[ {"id":"9b857ca67a2611d51595aa3ad0306f30","key":["foo ca","9b857ca67a2611d51595aa3ad0306f30"],"value":null} ]} Thank you, -- Tito On Feb 13, 2014, at 8:34 AM, Jens Alfke <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Feb 13, 2014, at 8:24 AM, Tito Ciuro <[email protected]> wrote: > >> This works as expected.
