Issue symptoms
I tried to use a cURL command through the terminal as explained in the documentation: Testing your cURL installation. However, I received the below error message.
curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL
Resolution
The error curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL could be caused by a character issue with the passwords. Characters such as @ or & or other symbols may be problematic on the command line.
To fix this issue, add double quotes around your URL.
"username@domain.net"
If that doesn't fix the issue, instead of using a password, generate a new API token.
