That doesn't explain what is _inside_ the file, the contents.  
Can you show that?

Please format your code using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

````
```
CODE
```

````

Please edit your post.

2 things might happen:

- You file is not picked up by the curl command. Have a look at the curl documentation. It might differ depending on your OS.
- Here you file is incorrect. It has some blank lines in it.
