Curl command with "query" parameters fails

[Stephen Wingert]

If I try to include the "query" parameter in a curl command to the web services it fails.  The same URL without the query parameter works.

This works:
curl --header "zsessionid:_abc123" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/portfolioitem/bi?project=https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/project/30774269735&fetch=true&order=FormattedID&start=1&pagesize=2000

This does not (difference in the two commands is highlighted):
curl --header "zsessionid:_abc123" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/portfolioitem/bi?project=https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/project/30774269735&query=((State != "Done") and (State != "Value Delivered"))&fetch=true&order=FormattedID&start=1&pagesize=2000

Any help would be appreciated.

Shouldn't that statement start "?query=" and not "&query=" ?

So I figured it out.  The curl command does not like brackets etc.  If you "escape" them it works as expected.  Command below works.

curl --header "zsessionid:_abc123" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/portfolioitem/bi?project=https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/project/30774269735&query=\(\(State != "Done"\) and \(State != "Value Delivered"\)\)&fetch=true&order=FormattedID&start=1&pagesize=2000

That's good, because it looks like I didn't read the whole line! I just assumed the project/30774269735 bit was the end of the URL, not the project ref. Doh!
