How to send a long HTML body in a cURL request to create or update a wiki page

This really seems like something better suited for the cURL site/documentation

I am not sure but it seems like it is on the Telligent side because we did multipart requests with Jive and experienced no issues.

This should not be a multi part request, it should application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Thank you, that's very helpful.

The closest I can get is this, but it still doesn't work (it doesn't return errors -- in fact the return body seems to indicate success -- but nothing ever changes on the page).

curl -H "Rest-User-Token: <token>" -H "Rest-Method: PUT" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d "body=@file.html" -X POST https://<my site>/api.ashx/v2/wikis/8/pages/199.json

I've triple checked the IDs and URLs.

Thanks again for sharing that tip, I am one step closer.

The parameter should be "Body", not "body" -- it is case sensitive.

Thank you Ben Tiedt.

Unfortunately the script still fails to post anything but the string @file.html on the page.

We were on Jive/Aurea and had no limitations on length that I ever experienced - 

curl -X PUT -u username:password -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -d @"file.json" "https://<my site>/api/core/v3/contents/ID"

(file.json had the html)

The parsing of @file.html is not something that would be done on the Telligent side. If @file.html is being written as the body of the wiki page, that's what was sent. You'd need to review the documentation/capabilities of curl to see if your syntax is correct there.
