curl --cert client.pem --key client-key.pem --cacert ca.pem server: https:///api/v1/namespaces/default/pods -XPOST -H'Content-Type: application/json' -d@curlpod.json

"kind": "Status",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"metadata": {

},
"status": "Failure",
"message": "the object provided is unrecognized (must be of type Pod): couldn't get version/kind; json parse error: invalid character '\"' after top-level value ({ \"kind\": \"Pod\", \"apiVersion ...)",
"reason": "BadRequest",
"code": 400

What would be the issue here.

Hi @ravi.ponnaiah,

The error message seems to indicate your problem: an unexpected character in the curlpod.json file. This typically happens when the file is generated via copy/paste from the PDF.
I suggest exploring the SOLUTIONS tarball and use the predefined files provided in there.

The documentation is pretty bad in this respect. This site does not like multiple spaces either . So here is my effort to generate the correct file ...

export SPACE=' '
cat > curlpod.json << EOF
{
${SPACE}"kind": "Pod",
${SPACE}"apiVersion": "v1",
${SPACE}"metadata":{
${SPACE}${SPACE}"name": "curlpod",
${SPACE}${SPACE}"namespace": "default",
${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}"labels": {
${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}"name": "examplepod"
${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}}
${SPACE}${SPACE}},
${SPACE}${SPACE}"spec": {
${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}"containers": [{
${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}"name": "nginx",
${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}"image": "nginx",
${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}"ports": [{"containerPort": 80}]
${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}}]
${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}}
${SPACE}${SPACE}}
EOF

Hi @Charles_Britton,

Your effort is greatly appreciated, but there is a preformatted curlpod.json file available in the SOLUTIONS tarball. Also, I noticed a few extra SPACES that may cause issues when generating the actual json file.
