REST API creating new profile from profile template

I'm not getting any output when trying to create a new server profile from a profile template. This is the process I am using:

# Create a new profile from a server profile template: UUID='28fa126e-bd5b-43fe-9b3c-1710554f8dcc' NEW_PROF=$(curl --insecure \ --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \ --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \ --request GET ${OneView}/rest/server-profile-templates/${UUID}/new-profile) # # Need to modify the returned object. SRV=my-servername SRVURI=$(curl --insecure \ --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \ --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \ --request GET ${OneView}/rest/server-hardware?filter=%22%27serverName%27%20-%20%27${SRV}%27%22 | jq -r '.members[] | .uri') SRVNAM=$(curl --insecure \ --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \ --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \ --request GET ${OneView}/rest/server-hardware?filter=%22%27serverName%27%20-%20%27${SRV}%27%22 | jq -r '.members[] | .serverName') echo "Creating a server profile for, ${SRVNAM}, at uri: ${SRVURI}" # # Add in the uri: NEW_PROF1=$(echo ${NEW_PROF} | jq -r '.serverHardwareUri="'${SRVURI}'"') NEW_PROF=$(echo ${NEW_PROF1} | jq -r '.name="'${SRVNAM}'"') echo "The new profile will be: $(echo ${NEW_PROF} | jq -r '.')" curl --insecure \ --header "content-type: application/json" \ --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \ --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \ --data "${NEW_PROF}" \ --request GET ${OneView}/rest/server-profiles

The echo just before trying to create looks good. No error messages from jq. So, I think the json is OK. OneView is complaining about anything - just no output and no profile created. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Chris's response to another post prompted me to add "--include" to my curl call. I first modified the supplied data to be on one line by changing this line:

NEW_PROF=$(echo ${NEW_PROF1} | jq -r '.name="'${SRVNAM}'"' | jq -c '.')

Note piping it to jq -c. Then I added a '--include' to my curl command:

curl --insecure \ --include \ --header "content-type: application/json" \ --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \ --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \ --data "${NEW_PROF}" \ --request GET ${OneView}/rest/server-profiles

and got back:

HTTP/1.1 100 Continue HTTP/1.1 200 Accepted Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2019 15:40:33 GMT Server: Apache Location: /rest/tasks/0E325C85-7E5E-4112-939E-2F21215D0B6728 Content-Length: 0 cache-control: no-cache

The Location line with the rest task uri is the important one.
