+
+```shell
+curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  --insecure \
+  --data '{"foo": "bar"}' \
+  https://example.docker.localhost/webhook
+```
+
+`--request POST` is implied if `--data` is passed.
+
+`--insecure` skips SSL validation, e.g. if using a self-signed certificate.
+
+Also, from `man curl`:
+
+```shell
+--json works as a shortcut for passing on these three options:
+
+--data [arg]
+--header "Content-Type: application/json"
+--header "Accept: application/json"
+```
