h1. Using the REST API with cURL
"curl":http://curl.haxx.se/ is a command-line tool for transferring data using various protocols. It can be used to interact with the Redmine REST API.
Here is a simple example of a command that can be used to update an issue:
<pre>
curl -v -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X PUT --data "@388.json" -u login:password http://redmine/issues/388.json
</pre>
The file that contains the data sent to Redmine (388.json in the example above) would look like this:
<pre>
{
"issue": {
"subject": "subject123",
"notes": "Changing the subject"
}
}
</pre>
Note: it's required to set the @Content-Type@ header according to the format of the data you are sending. It must be set to one the following values:
* @application/json@
* @application/xml@
