I am new to curl and I am using it with the canvas api and python to update a discussions description like so
subprocess.call(['curl', '-X', 'PUT', url, '-F', title, '-F', desc, '-H', auth])
this is successful however I get
Warning: skip unknown form field: "><tbody><tr><td style='border: 1px solid
when I put a ; in desc. desc is HTML and CSS.
Example:
This works
desc = 'message = <table style = "width: 30%">...</table>'
This does not work
desc = 'message = <table style="width: 30%;">...</table>'
notice the ; after 30% which is triggering the warning
I would like to be able to do <table style="width: 30%; border: 1px solid;"><tbody>... but since I currently cant have ;'s I am unable to do so.
How can I use semicolons inside of my curl call like this?
