curl: argument list too long

by

This is coming up because you are trying to pass the entirety of the base64’d content on the command line. curl has the ability to load in data to POST from a file, which I’d recommend doing. More information can be found in the man page, but the basic format is this:

curl -X POST -d @filename.txt https://website.com/path
