500 internal server error for Curl command for POST method(for JSON ) of restful web service using Go

Question

There is a file named countries.go It imports package github.com/ant0ine/go-json-rest/rest.

referred code from

https://gowalker.org/github.com/ant0ine/go-json-rest#countries

Countries section:Demo of POST DELETE etc

When i try to use command curl -i -d '{"Code":"FR","Name":"France"}' http_URL

It gives

{ "Error": "invalid character '\\'' looking for beginning of value" }

I have used the package given above .It seems the method in the request.go given as DecodeJsonPayload() ,which implements unmarshal() for JSON , have internal server error.

I am unable to correct that.Help appreciated

I managed to duplicate your problem with curl on Windows.

Use the following curl command instead:

curl -i -d "{\"Code\":\"FR\",\"Name\":\"France\"}" http_URL
