curl: (3) [globbing] illegal character in range specification at pos
Silly little error I ran into trying to use curl against a Solr endpoint:
curl: (3) [globbing] illegal character in range specification at pos 79
Escaping the brackets fixed the error, for example:
curl “http://localhost/getresults?q=date:\[2008 TO 2009\]“

Ran into this today and also found out that -g will disable globbing!
curl -g “http://localhost/getresults?q=date:[2008 TO 2009]“

Nice! That is much better than escaping them.

Thank you! I was facing exactly the same issue and this post gave the the exact right answer. I only wish I’d scrolled down to see R Said’s even easier solution.
