isn't the OP trying to use GET?

If I were the OP, I would tcpdump what curl sends, and what a
browser sends, then look at the difference. I would bet it's
some horrible DOS escaping stuff, or perhaps some exciting
limit on DOS command line length. If this were Unix, I'd
suggest using single quotes rather than double quotes.
