Curl hangs when trying to do a POST on a mysql db

[Jack Rooney]

I am using CURL to issue a POST request and sending a JSON to populate a mysql db. The issue it that curl hangs when I issue this command. If I use the RESTClient with firefox, it works perfectly and I can populate the db with the json passed. Its only when I am issuing the CURL that this happens.

If I remove my implementation inside the POST and just do a simple System.Out.Print, this works just fine.

Here is my curl command :

curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{{"Time":"Dec 27, 2012 15:44:12",
"firstName":"John","lastName":"Doe", "totalSalary":"10000"}' http://localhost:8080/Person/people/

Kindly let me know where I am going wrong.

Thanks, Jack
