Valid cURL command fails to be imported into HTTP node with "Couldn’t import cURL command" error about n8n HOT 5 CLOSED

I hacked curl.controller.js to return real nodejs exception message, and now I see that the exception error is {"code":400,"message":"Unterminated string in JSON at position 234"}

@netroy I noticed you’ve been working with n8n cURL service recently and I’d really value your opinion on this. Could you please take a look when you have a moment? Thanks!

Some background: I run a web scraper builder which generates JS / cURL commands to run this web scraper - and cURL is a perfect method to embed complex web scrapers into n8n.

ok after some digging I realised it's not nested quotes, it's = sign. I have updated the issue description accordingly.

so if I remove equals sign - it is imported correctly.

Ok I have isolated the problem - it is indeed a curlconverter@3 issue.
curlconverter@4 (4.10.1) encodes the equal sign properly while v3 trims it poorly and adds single quotes which breaks n8n.

Hey @restyler,

Thanks for the report, As there is a PR for this as well I am going to close this issue and we can continue the conversation on the PR.
