I try to send some multipart/form-data data using curl in a msys shell to a NAS named Synology. The form-data needs a parameter named "path" and must formated like "/dir/dir2". The slashes can't be changed.

My problem is, when i am using curl the path variable will be changed to "C:/git-sdk-64/dir/dir2" and i don't know how to prevent it. My command looks like this:



curl -X POST 
'http://url:port/webapi/entry.cgi?_sid=secret&api=SYNO.FileStation.Upload&method=upload&version=2'
-F "path=/dir/dir2"
-F 'overwrite=true'
-F 'filename=@/c/Temp/test.txt'

  • curl doesn't change the path, something else does it. Are you perhaps using msys? It is known to do those things when trying to be "helpful".

Thanks to Daniel Stenberg's info i found out this is a "problem" with msys self. Msys fills up the path variable. Written down here http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Posix_path_conversion. The solution is to put an semicolon at the end of the path. The complete command now looks like this:



curl -X POST 
'http://url:port/webapi/entry.cgi?_sid=secret&api=SYNO.FileStation.Upload&method=upload&version=2'
-F "path=/dir/dir2;"
-F 'overwrite=true'
-F 'filename=@/c/Temp/test.txt'
