Forge authentication failure while trying to get a token: error 404

I am trying to create a 2-legged authentication token for my forge app but I can't get anyone as I am told that the ressource doesn't exist . When I run this line in my Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019:

`curl -v "https://developer.api.autodesk.com/authentication/v1/authenticate"-X "POST"-H "Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded"-d "client_id=cRQTUv3rwWcqF00qn57W8ANNUIkV0wPo&client_secret=<edited-out>&grant_type=client_credentials&scope=data:read"`

I get the following message:

`< HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

I have no ideas anymore. I was first following the Autodesk tutorial https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/oauth/v2/tutorials/get-2-legged-token/.

The curl command seems malformed. All the different parameters should be separated by a whitespace, for example:

curl -v "https://developer.api.autodesk.com/authentication/v1/authenticate" -X "POST" -H "Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d "client_id=cRQTUv3rwWcqF00qn57W8ANNUIkV0wPo&client_secret=<your-app-secret>&grant_type=client_credentials&scope=data:read"

Also, do not share your client app secret. Go back to your Forge app under https://forge.autodesk.com/myapps and generate a new client secret so that nobody can use the one you pasted here.
