Issue with CURL String

Hi,

i want to run a CURL.exe with parameters using shell.execute on Windows. This seems to work, but my credentials for this request are not accepted, i always get an error “unauthorized”.

When i run the same command from commandline or Powershell, it work perfect.

So i think there is somethings wrong with my commandstring which i use in shell.execute.

My code looks like this:

[code]dim Username As String = txtUsername.Text()
dim Password As String = txtPassword.Text()
dim CURLPath As String = “c:\tools\curl\bin\curl.exe”
dim CURLParameter As String = “–include --request GET --user '” + Username + “:” + Password + “’ https://api.ionos.com/cloudapi/v5/datacenters

MsgBox(CURLPath + " " + CURLParameter)

dim sh As new Shell
sh.Execute(CURLPath, CURLParameter)

TextAreaCURLOutput.Text = sh.Result[/code]

this is what i get from sh.result:

[code] % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed

{
“httpStatus” : 401,
“messages” : [ {
“errorCode” : “315”,
“message” : “Unauthorized”
} ]
}
[/code]

The command which works from commandline is:

c:\\tools\\curl\\bin\\curl.exe --include --request GET --user 'michael.bzdega@mydomain.com:myPassword' https://api.ionos.com/cloudapi/v5/datacenters

any ideas what’s wrong here?

I don’t think there are supposed to be quotes (single or double) around the user parameter

ok,

i tried this:

dim CURLParameter As String = "--include --request GET --user " + Username + ":" + Password + " https://api.ionos.com/cloudapi/v5/datacenters"

and now it works, thank you.
