I want to send new-line-character as part of a value of a post request (text)variable. I am using wget to fire the request. How do I code that ?

Maybe same for curl: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3872427/how-to-send-line-break-with-curl – Ciro Santilli OurBigBook.com Dec 04 '14 at 14:21

According to the W3C spec, you encode a line break as %0D%0A in the x-www-form-urlencoded format -- which is what you hand to the --post-data option to wget.

i didn't get it. what exactly to do. i selected x-www-form-urlencoded and added %0D%0A where ever line break needed. but it was passed as string. eg: content: something %0D%0A somewhere. the content param was passed as "something %0D%0A somewhere" – kanchan Feb 10 '16 at 08:44

Note that the question (and the answer) were about sending request from shell scripts using the `wget` tool. I suspect your situation is different, please search for an answer that fits better. – LHMathies Feb 27 '16 at 10:39
