json rest curl

I am trying to send a "GET" request to a remote REST API from Command Prompt via cURL like this:

curl -X GET -H "Content-type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json"  "http://server:5050/a/c/getName/{"param0":"pradeep"}"

But it returns no output. I tried to ping the URL directly from the browser, I am able to get response successfully, I don't understand what is the wrong with the command.

Basically I want to set a "GET" request to a remote REST service which gives me json data as a response via curl. Can anyone guide me what mistake am I doing? I tried various posts, but all of them talk about POST requests not about GET.

This should work :

  curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" 'server:5050/a/c/getName{"param0":"pradeep"}'

use option -i instead of x.
