I am working on a shell script that would place get requests until the status is 202.

I have an issue with building the cURL command as mentioned below. Request is not being placed, even though the URL output by echo is correct. What am I doing wrong here? 

get_path=$BASE_URL$location_header
echo "$get_path"
get_result="$(curl -i -s -X GET $get_path -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $4")"

  • Is GET $getpath supposed to be one single argument to the -X option? In any case, $getpath should be double-quoted.

  • I tried double-quoted, - didn't work

  • Could you show us the contents of $get_path, or at least let us know what type of error you get? Also, when you double quoted, what did you double quote? The $get_path string or the GET $get_path string? Why do you even have -X GET? Isn't that the default?

  • get_path=http://localhost:8010/api/v0/part-of-url/syncJobs/5lhf51rrd1jxw

The problem was in the \r invisible character, that I was adding to my URL /syncJobs/{jobId}. I was extracting jobId from the Location header of the POST operation.
