The parameters are passed in curl as key1=value1&key2=value2... format. So, if the key1, key2, value1, value2 contains any special character like =, &, ? then should be urlencoded.

Your problem is with this parameter:

resourceMethodAuthType-0=Application & Application User,Application & Application User,Application & Application User,Application & Application User,None

You have lots of & character in your value. It should be urlencoded. For example this & should be replaced with %26 So the string will be:

resourceMethodAuthType-0=Application %26 Application User,Application %26 Application User,Application %26 Application User,Application %26 Application User,None

Another thing, if you are running the command from windows, the use double quotes always, not single quote. For example:

-d "endpoint_config={\"production_endpoints\"...}"
