Flask RESTful POST JSON fails

Question

I have a problem posting JSON via curl from cmd (Windows7) to Flask RESTful. This is what I post:

curl.exe -i -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\
 -H \"Acce

I just want to point out that you need to escape regardless of OS - and regardless if you have double quotes around the request data - I saw this post and didn't think it was the answer to my issue because I had double quotes around the request data and single quotes inside:

This won't work:

-d "{'Hello': 'Karl'}"

This will:

-d "{\"Hello\":\"Karl\"}"

Again, you need to escape the quotes regardless of OS (I'm on Mac) and regardless of whether you have single or double quotes

And thanks Sabuj Hassan for your answer!
