FAQ: Clarify Windows double quote usage
- Windows command prompt doesn't use literal quoting via single quotes. - Windows command prompt inner double quotes are escaped with a backslash. - Windows powershell does use single quotes but curl is not a powershell script so the arguments may not be passed on correctly. - Windows powershell inner double quotes seems can be passed to curl if the outer quotes are double quotes and an escape of backslash-backtick is used. Command prompt example: ~~~ getargs -v -d "\"a\"" argv[0]: getargs argv[1]: -v argv[2]: -d argv[3]: "a" ~~~ Ref: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/8818 Ref: https://gist.github.com/jay/19aba48653bd591cf4b90eb9249a302c Reported-by: KotlinIsland@users.noreply.github.com Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/8823

Exactly what kind of quotes and how to do this is entirely up to the shell

or command line interpreter that you are using. For most unix shells, you
|
||||
can more or less pick either single (') or double (") quotes. For
|
||||
Windows/DOS prompts I believe you are forced to use double (") quotes.
|
||||
Windows/DOS command prompts you must use double (") quotes, and if the
|
||||
option string contains inner double quotes you can escape them with a
|
||||
backslash.
|
||||
|
||||
For Windows powershell the arguments are not always passed on as expected
|
||||
because curl is not a powershell script. You may or may not be able to use
|
||||
single quotes. To escape inner double quotes seems to require a
|
||||
backslash-backtick escape sequence and the outer quotes as double quotes.
|
||||
|
||||
Please study the documentation for your particular environment. Examples in
|
||||
the curl docs will use a mix of both of these as shown above. You must
