Print a string in JSON format in bash

I am using below statement in my CGI bash scrip, which is returning me error [error] 1705#0: *105 upstream prematurely closed FastCGI stdout while reading response header from upstream [...]. Is this a correct way to use it?

echo "{\"meta\": {\"link\": {\"upload\": { \"href\": \"http://${ip}${target}\"}}}, \"status\": \"empty\"}" | jq .

My expected output is as below.

{
  "meta": {
  "link": {
  "upload": { "href": "http://fileserver.example.com/upload/content/{id}" }
  }
},"status": "empty"
}
Solution

  • There was no configuration issue. The problem was caused because there was no response from the script for the POST request.
