Here is the upload script I am using to upload and import CSV files. I have changed the philosophy behind the way I'm writing these Infoblox scripts. For processes like uploading and download a CSV file I am writing one script that takes command line input and performs that one upload or download. If I want to batch upload or batch download a lot of CSV files I am wrapping that "single use" script in another BASH shell script and iterating through a list of CSV files. The advantage to doing this is that I only have to maintain one script to upload and one script to download CSV files. As I find bugs or imporvements, I only have to make changes in one place.
Disclaimer - I am happy to share my scripts with others. However, I have not tested these scripts in every possible scenario. My scripts could possibly contain bugs that I have not found because my use case is different from yours. It is possible that some undiscovered bug in my script could damage your production system. If you use any of my scripts please make sure you understand what they are doing before you use them. If you don't understand BASH shell scripting, don't use my scripts. Since this particular script accepts command line arguments, and one of those arguments is a password, this could be a potential security issue for your company because the command may be written to your BASH history file. Use at your own risk.
All my scripts were written on Ununtu 14 and tested against NIOS 7.3.8 in a development environment. I have not done extensive error checking and data validation for the input. These are quick and dirty scripts meant to be run agains a development system.
At some point this summer I will clean these scripts up with better comments and better error checking.
#!/bin/bash
# This script is for development use only and not
# intended to be used on a production system.
# Do not use this script unless you are familiar with BASH
# shell programming. Use at your own risk.
#
# This script will upload and import a csv file.
#
# The error checking that is done is only to determine
# if the curl command was successful. No error checking is
# done on the Infoblox side to see if the csv file was
# imported correctly.
#
# This is a reusable BASH function to check
# for errors after each curl command is run
