Subject: [PATCH] Collapse the CLI Access shell snippet's curl call onto one
 line

The multi-line backslash-continued curl command was fragile to
copy/paste: a trailing space after \ or a dropped backslash (both
common when pasting a multi-line snippet out of a chat UI or browser)
silently breaks the continuation, so each following line gets parsed
as its own bogus command instead of a curl flag - exactly what Rune
hit ("command not found: -H", "-d", "no such file or directory:
http://localhost/") after pasting the previous version. A long single
line has no continuation character left to mangle.
