Let's say something like this is being return when issuing a curl command.
HTTP Error 411. The request must be chunked or have a content length.
This means the API expects the Content-Length header. Typically, this error can be resolved by including --header "Content-Length: 0".
curl --request POST --header "Content-Length: 0" --url https://api.example.com/api/v1 --data '{ "foo": "bar" }'
