Solved Calling DA API using curl/bash sometimes got a random binary output

[MaXi32]

I actually use Putty to access my server, and I notice that sometimes when I run DA API using curl I got a weird output but the API is working well:

Sample code:

username="admin"
password="12321aa"
da_port="2222"
host_server="server.domain.com"
ssl="https"
domain="test.com"
command="CMD_API_EMAIL_POP"

data="action=set_dkim&domain=${domain}&enable=yes&json=yes"
method="POST"

curl --silent --request "${method}" --user "${username}":"${password}" --data "${data}" "${ssl}://${host_server}:${da_port}/${command}"

Weird output: (but API is working)

You can see the text Putty is there because it detected the binary output contains character of Ctrl-E from Directadmin API and putty is set to reply with a string 'Putty' when it received this. Sometimes, I got the correct json output sometimes a binary output so it happens randomly. However, the API call is working, example the above code it set the domain DKIM correctly. Is this a bug?

Information related to this on stackoverflow:

Putty likes to print itself sometimes in my command line

So, sometimes when I am programming in C through putty connected to a linux server, after executing my C file for testing, the command line will fill with the word "PuTTY" repeatedly 30 to 40 times.

I can confirm this using the above command curl without --silent option I would get this from the curl output:

That output is directly from curl which detected binary output from Directadmin API call result.

I can confirm this issue has been fixed in the new directadmin 1.62 because I have not seen this error again.
