[Questions] How to get the info with curl for ws api

[ayiyaliing]

Hi
I saw the ws api with command to set db type in tcl script:
set body { "db": "ora" } rest::post http://localhost:8080/dbset $body

but how can I use curl command to update the data. I use the command below:
`curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8080/dbset" -d '{"db": "pg"}'

{"error": {"message": "Trying to read the string " at index 1."}}`

Thanks

With curl use a format such as follows, note the spaces at the start and end.

curl -v http://127.0.0.1:8080/dbset --data ' "db":"pg" '
