Am trying to read a JSON file from a Unix Shell Script (am inside the same dir as product.json) and send it using curl.

curlProduct.sh:

for file in ~/work/project/json/product.json

do 
  echo "$file"
   curl -X POST --data @"$file" 'http://localhost:8080/api/v1/purchaseProduct' \
   --header 'Content-Type:application/json' \ 
   --header 'Authorization: Bearer f682e27f-daf6-234r-3456-623b9fe65bds'

  echo "After HTTP POST"  
done

When I run this using:

sh curlProduct.sh

The only thing it does is print the fully qualified file path (along with name) seems to be hung at this line echo "$file", forcing me to to issue a control-c to cancel, every time:

/Users/pnwlover/work/project/json/product.json

What am I possibly doing wrong?

  • Is there something listening on localhost:8080? Is there a firewall in the way that's dropping traffic? If you have netcat installed, what does nc -vvv localhost 8080 do? Commented May 24, 2022 at 19:38

    @roaima - Connection to localhost port 8080 [tcp/http-alt] succeeded! using netcat along with command you suggested. Commented May 24, 2022 at 19:46
  • That's great. Pleased to see you've got a solution. Next time it would be better to add information (i.e. responses to requests for clarification) to your question so that others can find it easily. Commented May 24, 2022 at 20:26

Got it working like this by rearranging the curl args, as follows:

  curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer 20fa6074-4478-47d3-ds6c-b87be44bd74c' \
    --data @"$file" 'http://localhost:8080/api/v1/purchaseProduct';

    I doubt it was the ordering of the argument, but possibly the changed authorization header? Commented May 24, 2022 at 20:56
