Hi,

I'm trying to call the following with CURL in a container:

`"curl -g -u admin:password "https://10.233.24.239:9200/logs_write/_rollover" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"conditions": {"max_size": "5gb"}}'"`

However i get the following error message:

```
curl: (3) nested brace in URL position 133:
curl -u admin:password "https://10.233.24.239:9200/logs_write/_rollover" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"conditions": {"max_size": "5gb"}}'
                                                                                                                                ^

```

I've tried to alter this in many different way without success. What seems to be the issue here?
