Incorrectly parsing JSON

Hey,

First of all, httpie is a magnificent piece of software. I can’t remember how many colleagues I recommended using it.

There’s a problem I’ve encountered. According to the spec providing JSON params is done via the := operator. But launching httpie 0.9.9 with these params:

http post localhost/example/ param1="a b c" param2=d jparam:='["test string"]'

Results in a message about invalid JSON. But ["test string"] is valid JSON afaik.

http: error: "jparam:='[test string]'": Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Maybe anyone could shed some line on what seems to be wrong?

@poskadesign Try this:

http post localhost/example/ param1="a b c" param2=d jparam:="[\"test string\"]"

I’m not very familiar with Windows command line, but found https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17205292/quotes-around-quotes-in-windows-command-line which is similar.
