I'd rather say you didn't quote the URL when sending it using curl. Bash accepts the ampersand as a request to execute curl including the URL up to CREATE in background - that's why the error is included within the next output, followed by "Exit" - and then tries to execute the following part of the URL as additional commands, which of course fails.
Just put the URL in quotes, and it will work much better. -Michael Am 27.09.2017 um 23:14 schrieb Miller, William K - Norman, OK - Contractor: > I understand that this has to be done on the command line, but I don't know > where to put this structure or what it should look like.
