Curl response empty information

1

Hi guys, just trying to learn about the use of curl and how to prepare de URL.

If I run this command:
curl -i ‘htt://localhost:7557/devices’ it works perfect and show the information of all devices.

going to query a specific device, I try e.g.:
curl -i ‘http://localhost:7557/devices/?query={“_id”%3A"DCBB96-FD-HG8421C-485754439613CA40"}&projection=_tags’

I get and OK connection but empty response when I actually added a tag to the device.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Connection: keep-alive
Keep-Alive: timeout=5

Here is the output of the query for all devices (I have only one)
,“_tags”:[“acl”]},

Similar when trying other type of query…any idea?? Haven’t found much information about this…

Thanks in advance!!!
Regards,
Hernan.-

Here is what works for me:

My device ID: CCBE59-ENT-CXNK0051A85D

curl -i "http://localhost:7557/devices/?query=%7B%22_id%22%3A%22CCBE59-ENT-CXNK0051A85D%22%7D&projection=_tags"

As @dustin eluded to, the query param needs to be URL encoded.

Strange isn’t it?

I think it’s because of the %2D in your DeviceID

Try this url instead:

curl -i "http://localhost:7557/devices/?query=%7B%22_id%22%3A%22DCBB96-FD%252DHG8421C-485754439613CA40%22%7D&projection=_tags"
