To specify a command line option that includes spaces, you might need to
put the entire option within quotes. Like in:
curl -d " with spaces " url.com
or perhaps
curl -d ' with spaces ' url.com
Exactly what kind of quotes and how to do this is entirely up to the shell
or command line interepreter 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're forced to use double (") quotes.
Please study the documentaion for your particular environment. Examples in
the curl docs will use a mix of both these ones as shown above. You must
adjust them to work in your environment.
Remember that curl works and runs on more operating systems than most
individuals have ever tried.
