curl -G 'https://<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>@<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>/query?pretty=true' \
--data-urlencode "db=<DB_NAME>" \
--data-urlencode "q=<QUERY_STR>"
As example to get the SELECT \"ts_ms\" FROM \"test_measurement\" you can run:
curl -G 'https://<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>@<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>/query?pretty=true' \
