Your curl client appears to be trying to interpret each "\" character as a separate host, when those are supposed to just be characters to continue the command on a new line.

 

I don't know exactly what shell you're using, but for the sake of simplicity you can take out the "\" characters and new lines, so the entire command is on one unbroken line, to try to get this working in your environment.
