I'm trying to delete all records from Solr. I can do this in the browser by posting the following URL
http://localhost:8983/solr/update?stream.body=<delete><query>*:*</query></delete>
However I wish to do it using the commmand line. I've installed cURL and have tested that the command line understands curl commands. But when I issue the following command
curl http://localhost:8983/solr/update --data '<delete><query>*:*</query></delete>' -H 'Content-type:text/xml; charset=utf-8'
I receive the error
< was unexpected at this time
I have tried various different variations using single or double quotes to wrap the xml in, but nothing seems to work. Can anybody shed any light?
Thanks in advance.
