curl example does not work

[chrbsg]

In the "Base URLs" example:

    // Pass secret key and region using headers to a custom endpoint
    curl -X POST " my-ch-n.cognitiveservices.azure.com/translator/text/v3.0/translate?to=fr" \
    -H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: xxx" \
    -H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Region: switzerlandnorth" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d "[{'Text':'Hello'}]" -v

• curl fails due to a malformed url (" " prefix)
• there is no https prefix and curl defaults to http
• The URL doesn't match the section text which says the base URL should be "api.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com" or similar
• The example text suggests this is an example to force regional use of Switzerland, it might be better in the "Authenticating with a regional resource" section which covers regional resources, rather than the "Base URLs" section?
