I am using the authentication code mode of Huawei account kit to login users to my app. To check the app server to account server behavior, I use the cURL command shown bellow to obtain the access token from the authorization code. But the following command would return an error.
curl -v -H "Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d @body.txt -X POST https://oauth-login.cloud.huawei.com/oauth2/v3/token
the "body.txt" file contains the required information for the request:
grant_type=authorization_code&
code=DQB6e3x9zFqHIfkHR2ctp7htDs5tG5p6jXTkTCeoAAULtuS69PntuuD9pwqHrdXyvrlezuRc/aq+zuDU7OnQdRpImnvZcEX+RIOijYMXYu1j+zxpQ+W/J50Z7pY1qhyxZtavqkELY+6o2jSifaiIxC/MJc7KgqKV3jGn9kUIEZovSnM&
client_id=my_id&
client_secret=my_secrete&
redirect_uri=hms://redirect_uri
The command returns:

What should I do to get this API call working using cURL as expected?
Authentication code must be urlencoded before sent. The command in the question used that code without urlencoding non-letter characters. Please use the same command with encoded authorization code as parameter to "code" to perform the request to acquire access token
Encoding could be done inline by if doing so is desired curl --data-urlencode "para1=value1"
Please refer to: Link or using online tool such as : Link
Using other tools to acquire access token is possible as long as the parameters are properly encoded with %2x format.
