@parameswararao The error is a syntax issue for the curl request. Are you by chance using a Windows? If so, what terminal program? Different Windows terminals have different syntax requirements. This post on StackOverflow likely explains the necessary syntax changes for the standard Windows terminal: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11834238/curl-post-command-line-on-windows-restful-service
