Windows Notes:
Download curl binary from: https://curl.se/windows/dl-8.12.1_4/curl-8.12.1_4-win64-mingw.zip
Rename (to _curl.exe), because PowerShell has a curl command, and escape JSON surronding with '..' and using \"...\" in fields and values, example:
_curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{\"id\": \"1\", \"firstName\": \"Andres\", \"lastName\": \"Guerrero\"}' -X POST http://localhost:8080/employees
