how to execute curl in bash script within a function.
Hi,
I'm trying to execute curl in bash script within a function.
If I pass in endpoint as an argument to the function and use it within the function it fails with "curl: (1) Unsupported protocol: 'http"
However, if I execute with hardcoded value...it executes fine.
pls help
script
==========================
function callCurl(){
url=$1 #Receive 'http://hostname:8080/job/job1/buildWithParameters?arg1=true&arg2=Full'
sleepInterval=$sleepinterv
curl -v --user user:xxx ${url} # This one fails with below error
sleep 10
curl -v --user user:xxx 'http://hostname:8080/job/job1/buildWithParameters?arg1=true&arg2=Full' # This works fine.
}
callCurl 'http://hostname:8080/job/job1/buildWithParameters?arg1=true&arg2=Full'
Error:
* Unsupported protocol: 'http
curl: (1) Unsupported protocol: 'http
