Hello Violeta - I finally cracked it. The problem was using the hash mark in the curl command. The ASCII equivalent value of %23 needs to be used instead of # value as seen here -
curl -v --upload-file /usr/share/tomcat/installs/sample.war -X PUT http://username:password@localhost:10080/manager/text/deploy?path=/sample-1.0%23%231.0.7&update=true OK - Deployed application at context path /sample-1.0##1.0.7 This then deploys as - $ curl -X GET http://username:password@localhost:10080/manager/text/list /manager:running:0:manager /sample-1.0:running:0:sample-1.0##1.0.7 And the content also works for undeploy, providing the hash symbol substitution is put in place - curl -v -X GET http://username:password@localhost:10080/manager/text/undeploy?path=/sample-1.0%23%231.0.7 OK - Undeployed application at context path /sample-1.0##1.0.7 Thanks to everyone for the help!
