node.js - Autocannon, can't attach & to query string

Question

I'm struggling with invoking the autocannon method on Windows 10.

I have got an API, something like: autocannon -c 10 -d 10 https://uri/param1/param2?file=query1&pass=query2

The problem is, Windows reads the URL string up to & sign, and after, it invokes another function, starting from pass=query2

'pass' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Does anyone know how could I attach & to the query? I was searching for the solution but nothing came up on this particular problem.

Answer 1

Got it working after I switched to run the command from the Powershell.

The reason why it didn't work is that Windows cmd uses & internally. In order to have it running I needed to wrap & in double quotes.

autocannon -c 10 -d 10 https://uri/param1/param2?file=query1"&"pass=query2
