I don't know why you are sending your own boundary header, that doesn't
make any sense here, omit it. Also review the qualtrics documentation
for this command [1]. You can run curl in verbose mode (curl -v) to see
what headers it sends. Basically curl is POSTing (ie REST create) as
multipart/form-data with the one and only part name="contacts"
containing the json file c:/Users/hff/desktop/contactsToImport.json as
content type application/json. Consult the documentation for the tool
you will be using to learn how to do that.
