[A Basic Design Document] curl command for uploading design file is wrong.

[Spredzy]

When executing the command made in the book I get this error

Command:

curl -vX PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/basic/_design/example -data-binarymydesign.json

Output:

{"error":"bad_request","reason":"invalid UTF-8 JSON: <<\"ata-binarytoto.json\">>"}

After some research the exact query (at least for my os Mac OS X 10.6) would look like this

Command:

curl -vX PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/basic/_design/example --data-binary @mydesign.json

Output:

{"ok":true,"id":"_design/example","rev":"1-230141dfa7e07c3dbfef0789bf11773a"}

Note the double dash (--) in front of data-binary, followed by a space and then an @ to define the file name.

Also working form OSX10.6 and have the same issue. The fixed command works for me. Thanks!

I think this, and open issue #448, can be closed as a duplicate of resolved issues #415, #422, #428.

The error was fixed in the draft version with commit b3610d
