Hello,
I would like to run:
wget --header='Key: value' http://HOST/path
for three hosts.
I have a loop:
for i in one two three; do
wget --header='Key: value' http://$i/path
done
The path is really long, so I tidied it up:
WGET="wget --header='Key: value'"
for i in one two three; do
$WGET http://$i/path
done
This doesn't do what I expected: it also tries to fetch "Key: " as if
it is a url.
Using set -x shows me that the 'Key: value' gets split into two on the
space.
No combination of backslashes or different quotes seems to fix this.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
eval $WGET http://$i/path
.
