Curl build with bash script

Question

I want to create curl with #!/bin/sh script and the part that giving me a headache is:

STR="-XGET -v -H 'Authorization: Bearer "$TOKEN"' https://my_endpoint/sth?"
echo $STR

CON="$(curl $STR)"

The echo there is:

-XGET -v -H 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXUyJ9.eyJleHAiOjE0NTM5NzIxODcsInVzZXJuYW1lIjoid2luZ3UtY2xpZW50LWFkbWluQHNwZWljaGVyMjEwLmNvbSIsImlhdCI6IjE0NTM4ODU3ODcifQ.ADLcrV4yph6owwgMLak2RsnC95WK17ULflCisvNWBkeA93G4WUQ-BMrjnhQeuIgSfxSYnAmgmI36ggc2PytWhkqk8lIYrMJTH80tggBYCnnuA2lM26IZ2ViUMK1cj-BH3-dh4HmqSm_hozAFnVqGQi9P5J4CBz8eCf_mKc3iq-7EnXRikTkgakF69-jPfFA_9yO26JzZeDpymowa-LRPafWPtYinzmkaUQ2SHjUdWtGmELAyzkGUOOXrZ8TgvV9Yeb-OnEoY54GRSlb4ogVzAwWCJ2Y6vxmvNpAN5wiUZMylqTGhnqFr9MOp4JId1RavjwT7STRp9bCHBxD55CtYoEQ-oSpDv6WkgB07CtCRi0Spx9ErVsaB0Xf1mH9XKAVjOQ_dNNpKTxlqIXMbbosxEhjYE9K6Z30c3uWhCgccNdEEHxPhi7d2bRO3M_3fJPKsYWWk5DXhxmkFpJ4fLf05JO31FFIoj8q7H3c5NEvXVk_keS-jPY5iP5xRY1dv9P8bWPEwFk1-qQrXZ1mMNiLDLxdB9cXE9Tm6Eo4Rxo71H2o4Z1DHmnVHHctsATzywsJIe3o8Ym5o0OsmS3WH3EJ-IS572lFv-ZQSkt3fq927JlvWotd9HHMT2MOPf8Zg5cdNd-hclZUfj7qOi-a0Afbn2cT3FccBXJ8l4' https://my_endpoint/sth?

And when i copy this from terminal and paste it into curl it works, but in the verbose log I find:

What's wrong with that header?

You are using bash, but executing the command at windows. That's why! — Sabuj Hassan

For windows it happens when you are using single quote. For example single quote after -H header. Try with double quote. — Sabuj Hassan

I'm not using windows, when I fire -XGET -v -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5c(...)CI6IkpXUyJ9.bjt3M" https://my_endpoint/sth? i got exactly the same result — Jakub

Use an array to store command arguments.

curl_options=(-XGET -v -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" "https://my_endpoint/sth?")
content=$(curl "${curl_options[@]}")

You can use

eval curl $STR "https://my_endpoint" > 'output_file'

eval is unnecessary here at best, and is often a security risk.
