That's a questionable use of curl (and feel free to report that to postman if
that's what generated it). Why set the Content-Type like that? Remove that
part and it becomes a much better command line. Oh, and remove "-X POST" as
well while you're at it, it will only bring you tears. (I presume your URL
using 0.0.0.0 is made up.)

Remove this.

Remove this.

Don't do that. Use curl_formadd() instead and add each section one by one,
which is what the curl -F option does. See the multi-post.c example:
https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/multi-post.html
