Problem with documentation example?

[Pezzab]

Hi, I'm just working through the documentation to get myself acquainted with the API (great documentation btw!) and I tried this in getting-started.md:

curl --data-binary="@updated-post.json" \ -H "Content-Type: application/javascript" \ --user admin:password \ http://example.com/wp-json/posts

After adapting the example to fit with my test site I kept getting the following error:

curl: option --data-binary="@update-post.json": is unknown

After some tinkering I found that removing the '=' from the example code (eg curl --data-binary "@updated-post.json") meant that the post request worked, though I did get the following response:

[{"code":"json_cannot_create","message":"Sorry, you are not allowed to post on this site."}]

Good catch with the cURL options there, we should definitely fix that.

We should also note that the examples require the Basic Auth plugin right now.

Nice one. Cheers for the heads up :)
