I am using curl on mac and other windows machines to upload my artifacts to HockeyApp service. On one of my machines that runs windows , "curl" constantly "hangs/freezes" during upload.

Here is the command : curl -F notify=0 -F status=2 -F ipa=@app/build/outputs/apk/app-production-release-2.4.2-SNAPSHOTv42.apk -F dsym=@app/build/outputs/mapping/production/release/mapping.txt -H X-HockeyAppToken:[MY_TOKEN_HERE]https://rink.hockeyapp.net/api/2/apps/[MY_APP_REFERENCE]/app_versions/upload

On windows there is no curl by default , so I use the one installed with this git distribution. I just add the path to curl to path environmental variable. This approach works well on 2 other windows machines. In fact when I open git-bash , the curl command also executes fine. But any attempt to run it from cmd.exe leads to "hanging/freezing".

Any idea on how can I troubleshoot/debug it ?

EDIT : I have already tried other curl distributions for windows , same result...

I've been struggling with the same issue of curl as well when trying to deploy my app from VSTS to Hockeyapp. in the end I've chosen for not using curl but just using plain powershell on Windows. it's a bit more complicated but it works the same way.

I've uploaded this script to GitHub and can be found there: https://github.com/Geertvdc/UWPHockeyAppDeployScripts/blob/master/UploadUWPToHockeyApp.ps1

so instead of curl I use Invoke-RestMethod from powershell to do the same call to Hockeyapp.

Try to upgrade your curl to the latest version 

where curl

find out where current path of curl, using cywin cli

https://curl.haxx.se/windows/

Come here to find version you want update, download and give it a try.

Reason for this freezing is base on Windows config. I have laptop that need to ghost new installation of Windows 10. Before ghost, curl run well. After ghost, sometime it freezing.

I updated and it runs well now.

Also notice that when run 

curl -s

curl will run in silent mode, that never hang out
