New line chars are stripped (not shown) from request body

[modax]

Hello,

It seems that new line characters are stripped away during request body processing. E.g.:

printf "%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n" a b c d | curl -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' -v -d@- https://webhook.site/38e09213-6ad6-42b0-8cb5-890939757c31

results into both "raw content" page and html preview at permalink not showing any new lines. Adding "\r" to the mix does not seem to help the case.

Thanks!

Hi @modax, apparently with curl you have to use the --data-binary flag for curl to preserve newlines in the request body.

This worked for me:

printf "%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n" a b c d | curl -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' -v --data-binary @- https://webhook.site/xxxxx

@fredsted: Thanks a lot for the prompt response! Oh my bad, you are right! Why would curl do that by default is beyond me, very unintuitive! Thanks again!

Yeah, it's kind of weird :)
