Windows - pushin a metric - Error

[kenderipa]

Hello,

we're trying to push a sample metric into pushgateway on Windows. We're trying it with three different commands and get three different errors:

Command 1: echo "some_metric_a 200" | Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://localhost:9091/metrics/job/some_job/instance/some_instance -Method POST

Error 1: Invoke-WebRequest : text format parsing error in line 1: unexpected end of input stream

Command 3: curl.exe --data-binary "some_metric 200" http://localhost:9091/metrics/job/some_job

Could somebody take a look? Thsnk!

In my case, the issue was that the body should end with a new line ('\n').
