WooCommerce Rest API not updating product data using Curl

I have a WooCommerce website for developing and testing purposes and then I will code an API for a client so he can list, post, update and delete his/her products in another WooCommerce website.

My problem is that the product IS NOT being updated after using a Curl like the documentation say: https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#update-a-product

GET Requests works fine as expected and it lists the product and products:

curl -X GET https://mywebsite.com/dev/wp-json/wc/v3/products/53 \
-u ck_key:cs_key 
}

// gives this below

    }],
    "collection": [{
        "href": "https:\/\/mywebsite.com\/dev\/wp-json\/wc\/v3\/products"
    }]
}
}

but then I do a Curl for updating a product like the documentation say, it does not even update it:

enter image description here

I tried this approach: https://mywebsite.com/dev/wp-json/wc/v1/products/53?name=new Iphone 15 AND IT WORKED! but.... this is not what I want because I will be using C# or any other programming language using direct Curl code that is why I need to serialize objects.

How do I solve this? Is there any way or do I have a bad configuration in my website? Did anyone had this issue before? Documentation sucks!

Done! Solved it by putting a POST instead of PUT. The documentation is wrong and maybe WooCommerce devs forgot to mention that it is a POST.

This approach worked:

curl -X POST https://mywebsite.com/dev/wp-json/wc/v3/products/53 \
-u ck_key:cs_key \
-H "Content-Type: application/text" \
-d '{
     "name": "new"
    }'
