John, on windows this works:
curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/testdb/4e2a2835b2dc1f424b0d5ef14400zzzz -H
"Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"Body\":\"I decided today
that I don't like baseball. I like plankton.\"}"

Subject: Escape Character: Bash Shell
Hi and sorry.
Another curl command-line escape character question.
This command is not working:
curl -X PUT
http://user:[email protected]:5984/testdb/4e2a2835b2dc1f424b0d5ef14400zzzz -H
"Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"Body":"I decided today that I don't like
baseball. I like plankton."}'
No response or if I alter quotation marks etc.etc. I get
{"error":"bad_request","reason":"invalid UTF-8 JSON"}
I have eliminated everything and the cause is the ' in don't.
I just don't know how to escape the ' correctly.(pun not intended)
I have actually tried every shell I can(Powershell, Bash and Windows command
line)
John
