How to execute yanked multi line command in shell within vim

I have the following curl command in a file.

curl \
  --request POST \
  https://oauth2.googleapis.com/tokeninfo?id_token=eyJhbGci

How do I execute the command in bash/zsh shell within vim? I tried to do :!<C-r>" (Ctrl + r then ") but it says

zsh:1: no match found: https://oauth2.googleapis.com/tokeninfo?id_token=eyJhbGci

shell returned 1

Alternatively, you can use :help :w_c to pass arbitrary lines to an external command.

Select three lines and execute via sh:

vjj
:'<,'>w !sh

Execute current line:

:.w !sh

Execute whole buffer:

:%w !sh

Execute given range:

:12,34w !sh

See :help :range.

? is a glob character, zsh is looking for a file named http://oauth2.googleapis.com/tokeninfo + a single character + id_token=eyJhbGci and reporting that there are no matches.

Escape or quote it, any one of

https://oauth2.googleapis.com/tokeninfo\?id_token=eyJhbGci
'https://oauth2.googleapis.com/tokeninfo?id_token=eyJhbGci'
"https://oauth2.googleapis.com/tokeninfo?id_token=eyJhbGci"

or use setopt +o nomatch to make zsh behave like the default in other shells (if no matches, continue with the argument untouched).

Preferably just quote it.
