Http Curl Command Script

[Projectile Objects]

I'm bouncing into errors, compiling a simple script.

If I open terminal and run:

curl "http://192.168.8.185/relay/0?turn=on"

The relay I'm controlling turns on.

When I run a script in Qlab:

tell application "Terminal" to activate

tell application "Terminal"

   do script curl "http://192.168.8.185/relay/0?turn=off"

end tell

It doesn't work, if I run:

tell application "Terminal" to activate

tell application "Terminal"

   do script "curl" & "http://192.168.8.185/relay/0?turn=on"

end tell

Then the terminal opens and runs: curlhttp://192.168.8.185/relay/0?turn=on

The problem is I need the double quotes to "..."  to run the http command in terminal, but when I add the quotes to this script I can't compile it.

For example, something like this won't compile:

tell application "Terminal" to activate

tell application "Terminal"

   do script "curl "http://192.168.8.185/relay/0?turn=on"" in window 1

   do script "EXIT" in window 1

   delay 0.2

   tell application "Terminal" to quit

end tell

Appreciate the help.  Thanks

Additionally, Iif I use:

tell application "Terminal" to activate
tell application "Terminal"
    do script "curl http://192.168.8.185/relay/0?turn=on"

end tell

Then it enters curl http://192.168.8.185/relay/0?turn=on into the terminal and does not properly trigger the relay.

You need to escape your quotes that you want sent to terminal.

Try

do script "curl \"http://192.168.8.185/relay/0?turn=on\" "

Works perfect!  Thank you.

Unsolicited advice: you don't need to use terminal to run a CURL. just do shell script "[your CURL]".

I've been using this in my workflow for a few months, and it's been great.
