x/website: Error of "Developing a RESTful API with Go and Gin" chapter

[tzzs]

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go version go1.16.6 windows/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

go env Output

$ go env
set GOHOSTARCH=amd64
set GOHOSTOS=windows

What did you do?

I wrote a RESTful API for adding albums according to the documentation(Tutorial: Developing a RESTful API with Go and Gin), but when i called it according to the curl command in the case, an error occurred.

$ curl http://localhost:8080/albums \
    --include \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --request "POST" \
    --data '{"id": "4","title": "The Modern Sound of Betty Carter","artist": "Betty Carter","price": 49.99}'

Finall I found out that I need to escape the double quotes in the data send using curl, otherwise the problem will occur.
The following case can be send successfully.

curl http://localhost:8080/albums --include --header "Content-Type: application/json" --request "POST" --data '{\"id\": \"4\",\"title\": \"The Modern Sound of Betty Carter\",\"artist\": \"Betty Carter\",\"price\": 49.99}'

What did you expect to see?

curl http://localhost:8080/albums --include --header "Content-Type: application/json" --request "POST" --data '{\"id\": \"4\",\"title\": \"The Modern Sound of Betty Carter\",\"artist\": \"Betty Carter\",\"price\": 49.99}'

What did you see instead?

$ curl http://localhost:8080/albums \
    --include \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --request "POST" \
    --data '{"id": "4","title": "The Modern Sound of Betty Carter","artist": "Betty Carter","price": 49.

which shell is this? In sh-like shells the outer single quotes mean the inside double quotes don't need to be escaped

I have this problem with CMD and new Powershell 7.1.4, which I often use on windows.

the price must be string in JSON
try it

$ curl http://localhost:8080/albums \
    --include \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --request "POST" \
    --data '{"id": "4","title": "The Modern Sound of Betty Carter","artist": "Betty Carter","price": "49.99"}'

CMD and Powershell don't accept the arguments used in BASH(--include, --header, etc). They are named differently. Try the following to post data to the album instead:

curl http://localhost:8080/albums/ -Method POST -Body '{"id": "4","title": "The Modern Sound of Betty Carter","artist": "Betty Carter","price": 49.99}'
