Cannot Sign In With CURL In Rails Using POST

Question

I had a problem sign in into rails using CURL with POST method. What I've type in terminal is

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST http://localhost:3000/users/sign_in -d '{"user": {"email": "[email protected]", "password": "abc12345"}}'

but it returned some kind of html/javascript file in terminal. And here is my registration controller code :

class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController

    private

    def sign_up_params 
        params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email, :password)
    end

    def account_update_params 
        params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email, :password, :current_password)
    end

end

and this is result i got in terminal for CURL request:

http://localhost:3000/users/sign_in
Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost (::1) port 3000 (#0)

I hope someone can help me regarding this problem. Thank you in advance.

What does the rails console say? What's the content of the body of the 422 response? — amiuhle

Update: Try this instead:
http://blog.andrewray.me/how-to-set-up-devise-ajax-authentication-with-rails-4-0/

In config/initializers/devise.rb, add :json to accepted formats:

config.navigational_formats = [:"*/*", "*/*", :html, :json]

I suggest you also take a look at something like Postman to test JSON requests.
