cURL POST command line on WINDOWS RESTful service

by

I ran into the same issue on my win7 x64 laptop and was able to get it working using the curl release that is labeled Win64 – Generic w SSL by using the very similar command line format:

C:\Projects\curl-7.23.1-win64-ssl-sspi>curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost/someapi -d "{\"Name\":\"Test Value\"}"

Which only differs from your 2nd escape version by using double-quotes around the escaped ones and the header parameter value. Definitely prefer the linux shell syntax more.
