Curl PUT Request With JWT Authorization Header

[bit.io.c...@gmail.com]

I am still getting a hang of using curl for testing API request from the terminal. I have a particular issue with formatting because the API request I am attempting requires a JWT Token to be passed with every call. The request I am attempting to pass is PUT request and my question is where to place the header for the JWT token authorization. I have tried the following format and I get a error Could not resolve host: —H curl: (6) Could not resolve host: Authorization:

curl -X PUT -H "Authorization: JWT <token here>" -d "field=value" "https://url/update_record/<id>/"
 

Any ideas?

Try using the `httpie` utility, you'll find it _much_ less of a pain in the ass than `curl`.  Gave up on that ages ago.

```
pip install httpie
export TOKEN=`get token value`
http put url.com/route/ field=value Authorization:"JWT $TOKEN"
```

As for the Curl line, it looks fine to me, i don't see anything obviously wrong.  is the "-" in "-H" the right dash?

Hi Andrew,

I tried that call and got this strange message:

Personally I prefer "postman rest client". Much less trouble bout since
you insist going CLI here is the notes file from
codingforentrepreneurs.com course on django Rest Framework.

They have it open in github and I think this particular line might
interest you.

BTW the error you get it doesn't have to do with the authorization.
It says that it can't resolve the url.

Is the url you posted the actual url that you are trying? It doesn't
seem right.
