Can't you go -u [email protected] --pass password? From: Hank Knight Sent: 11/13/2013 20:43 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CouchDB: @ in username messing up curl I tried encoding the @ but that does not work either!
curl -kX -u nlbdmobz%40sharklasers.com:password123 POST \ https://zqzqzqz555.couchappy.com/urls \ -d "{}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" Please test it with the real database and login information I provided. Unfortunately I have to use curl here and I need to figure out what to do about "@". Thanks for the help!
