I want to send a json request and embedd a variable in the post data.
I did a little research and I came up with the single quotes around the variable.

```
    #!/bin/bash
    FILENAME="/media/file.avi"
    curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" —d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.Open", "params":{"item":{"file":"'$FILENAME'"}}}' http://192.167.0.13/jsonrpc

```

Unfortunately I get some errors:

```
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host '—d'
curl: (3) [globbing] nested braces not supported at pos 54
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 76
Content-Type: application/json
Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2014 19:16:56 GMT

{"error":{"code":-32700,"message":"Parse error."},"id":null,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}

```

Appearently there are some problems with the braces and the http answer states, that the command could not be executed. What's wrong with my code here? 
Thanks!

This is my `curl` version:

```
