Problems with square brackets on a URL (Dahua TiOC API)
Hello!
I've recently testing out TiOC cameras from Dahua, where I need to use their TiOC API. I've tested some of the URLs on the browser, and with curl, and even though they work, I have a small problem with bOS.
The url itself is this one (just for now):
On the browser, I just have to past the url, enter the username and password and that's it. Testing done.
With curl, as I have square brackets, either I use the --globoff option or I have to change the [ ] with %5B and %5D respectively. Otherwise the curl command gives error.
So, I'm trying to use this url on bOS and it simply doesn't work.
If I use the [ ] I don't get anything. If I use the %, it will conflict in the string editor, as %5... will expect the pointer. I've tried almost everything I can remember,
I know some guy that will probably figure this out, as I know that he probably uses TiOC cameras...
Yes Jürgen, this message is for you :P
Help!
Best regards
Oh, you mean the end the command as string... Well haven't thought of that, I was trying several string variations but not that way.
I can surely try!
bOS team can also try to give any hint on how to escape the url correctly.
I will try your suggestion tomorrow morning, thanks.
Best regards
