getting the following error using curl with salesforce, I'm trying to update a record. Have I formatted this wrong or am I missing something

Many thanks for your help

  • Are you on Windows 10? Which curl --version do you use? Have you tried replacing your single quotes (after "-d") by double quotes and replaced the other double quotes (of the POST data) by the combination of backslash - double quote? Jan 4, 2022 at 13:37
  • Thanks for getting curl 7.55.1 for Windows and curl 7.64.0 on Linux

  • With the above I get [ { "errorCode" : "METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED", "message" : "HTTP Method 'POST' not allowed. Allowed are HEAD,GET,PATCH,DELETE" } ]

  • Your correction is okay. But do you still have -X PATCH in the end? This shouldn't send a POST, it should send a PATCH request. Jan 4, 2022 at 16:16
