Acessing the API fails with curl - what am I doing wrong?

When I access /api/v1/auth/verify using Firefox, that works fine.

When I create a curl request from that using the Firefox debugger that works fine:

 

[me@machine]$ curl "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/api/v1/auth/verify" -H "Host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0" -H "Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8" -H "Accept-Language: de,en-US;q=0.7,en;q=0.3" --compressed -H "Authorization: Digest username=""6384f43f0e8aef0e024949b01fe67ba3"", realm=""Jedi-API"", nonce=""dcf0ed0acc248b6918bd25bef863996f"", uri=""/api/v1/auth/verify"", response=""e39ef5c9445ee93a237244dbf2e50aa8"", qop=auth, nc=00000007, cnonce=""87d281d69398db60""" -H "Connection: keep-alive" -H "Cache-Control: max-age=0"{"message": "ok"}

 

When I try to use curl with the same credentials and basic auth it fails:

 

[me@machine ~]$ curl -vv -u 6384f43f0e8aef0e024949b01fe67ba3:6453bdd1aa2ad0c8f2fcb8c8ef2fe7b9b550c654abbbbe54d3455bccc2bee83f http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/api/v1/auth/verify*   Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...* TCP_NODELAY set* Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) port 80 (#0)* Server auth using Basic with user '6384f43f0e8aef0e024949b01fe67ba3'> GET /api/v1/auth/verify HTTP/1.1> Host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> Authorization: Basic NjM4NGY0M2YwZThhZWYwZTAyNDk0OWIwMWZlNjdiYTM6NjQ1M2JkZDFhYTJhZDBjOGYyZmNiOGM4ZWYyZmU3YjliNTUwYzY1NGFiYmJiZTU0ZDM0NTViY2NjMmJlZTgzZg==> User-Agent: curl/7.51.0> Accept: */*>* HTTP 1.0, assume close after body< HTTP/1.0 401 UNAUTHORIZED< Content-Type: application/json< Content-Length: 38< Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate< Pragma: no-cache< Expires: 0< WWW-Authenticate: Digest qop=auth, realm="Jedi-API", nonce="27495c91bef5eaf2c338c2dda9d95a5c"< Server: Werkzeug/0.9.6 Python/3.4.2< Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2017 12:51:59 GMT<* Curl_http_done: called premature == 0* Closing connection 0{"message": "Authorization required."}

 

What am I doing wrong here?

Could a mod please move this post to the appropriate subforum?

I can see that Firefox uses double double quotes for some values. Maybe it is a formatting issue on the command line. You could put the parameters in a text file and have curl read from that file.
