Subject: [gentoo-user] [OT] bash script error
From: Xi Shen <davidshen84@googlemail.com>
To: gentoo-user <gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org>

It is not specific to Gentoo. But do not know where to search or post it :)

My script looks like:

url="http://mypage"
curl_opts="-x ''"
curl $url -d \"mydata\" $curl_opts

If I execute it, I got an error from curl, saying it cannot resolve
the proxy ''.

But If I modify the script to:

url="http://mypage"
curl $url -d \"mydata\" -x ''

It works fine.

I guess there's something wrong with the argument expansion. Just do
not know how to fix it. Please help.
