Curl cant properly execute in jenkins due to lower Curl version

this is my first time posting a question on stack overflow, please excuse me if I did anything wrong. Thank you.

So, I am trying to automate a database creation process with a version of Jenkins, however, I am stuck on the command:

curl -s -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authroization: bearer ${TOKEN}:" -X POST -d @database.json https:/gaia……

The command works locally on git bash but when I ran it through the Jenkins Pipeline I get a 400 bad request error telling me that the required body is missing. It looks like the Jenkins is not finding the appointed JSON file.
After some digging, I saw that Jenkins has a lower version of Curl (7.29.0) and git bash has a higher version of Curl (7.56.1). When I read into the higher version Curl documentation it has the:

--data-raw HTTP POST data ‘@’ allowed

While the lower version of Curl does not.

I cannot update the current version of Jenkins that I am using. Is there a way to get around that command? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

You need to update the version of CURL on the Jenkins agent that the job runs on.
If you are running the jobs on the Jenkins master (i.e. no external agents), then you should be able to SSH to the Jenkins master box and update curl (how to do this will depend on what OS you are running).
