+ To specify a command line option that includes spaces, you might need to
+ put the entire option within quotes. Like in:
+
+ curl -d " with spaces " url.com
+
+ or perhaps
+
+ curl -d ' with spaces ' url.com
+
+ Exactly what kind of quotes and how to do this is entirely up to the shell
+ or command line interepreter that you are using. For most unix shells, you
+ can more or less pick either single (') or double (") quotes. For
+ Windows/DOS prompts I believe you're forced to use double (") quotes.
+
+ Please study the documentaion for your particular environment. Examples in
+ the curl docs will use a mix of both these ones as shown above. You must
+ adjust them to work in your environment.
+
+ Remember that curl works and runs on more operating systems than most
+ individuals have ever tried.
