Download tool with -F

I'm trying to learn more about working with APIs. I thought it would be fun to use Zamzar to convert files. Their documentation is here. They've made it super easy and supplied the curl command I should use:

curl https://sandbox.zamzar.com/v1/jobs \
 -u my API key: \
 -X POST \
 -F "source_file=@/tmp/portrait.gif" \
 -F "target_format=png"

where I put in my actual API key that I got for free yesterday. When I setup the download tool, I can't quite figure out how to setup the -F part. Here is my attempt on the payload tab:

The response back from the API is :

{"errors":[{"context":{"parameter":"source_file"},"code":10,"message":"no value was specified for a mandatory parameter"}]}

Any ideas on how to get this to work? I tried using Curl.exe instead of the download tool, but I'm getting this error:

curl: (1) libcurl was built with SSL disabled, https: not supported!

If you want to upload a file with POST, you can use cURL via the Run Command.

Thanks @Joe_Mako. It looks like the cURL.exe that I found in my Alteryx folders wasn't created with ssl support. I was able to make some headway downloading another version of cURL.

Hello,

I am trying to use --insecure/-K in download tool, but its not working out. I added the Run command tool and it gives me the key in cmd, but the download tool still gives the Error: Download (3): Error transferring data: SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK with POST request.

Need help.
