Graphite

getting raw/csv/json data from a curl call?

Asked by Sandy Walsh

If I issue something like:

http://mygraphite.com:8080/render?from=-1d&target=foo.data&format=json

from the browser I get back beautiful json data, but if I do

curl http://mygraphite.com:8080/render?from=-1d&target=foo.data&format=json

from the cmdline, I always get back a png.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there a header I should be including?

do you need to quote the url? possible that everything after the first & is
trying to be launched as a new process.
