Thx Rose, but still have a error msg

This is my line

curl --digest -u ‘user:pass’ -X PUT -H ‘Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8’ -H ‘Content-type:application/json; charset=utf-8’ [http://my-server-ip:8087/v2/servers/](http://my-server-ip:8087/v2/servers/)_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/some-app-name/smilfiles/live.smil/actions/connect?connectAppName=some-app-name≈pInstance=_definst_&mediaCasterType=liverepeater
