Create KsqlDB Stream via Kafka REST fails - ksqldb

Question

I'm having difficulties executing "Create Stream" command against KsqlDB using the REST interface. Here is the failing command:
curl -X "POST" "http://localhost:8088/query" \
-H "Content-Type: application/vnd.ksql.v1+json; charset=utf-8" \
-d $'{
"ksql": "CREATE STREAM pageviews_home_2 AS SELECT * FROM pageviews_original WHERE pageid=\'home\';”,
"streamsProperties": {
"ksql.streams.auto.offset.reset": "earliest"
}'
The error I get is:
{"#type":"generic_error","error_code":50000,"message":"Failed to deserialize buffer"}
The very same command, when executed from within the KsqlDB prompt runs successfully:
ksql> CREATE STREAM pageviews_home AS SELECT * FROM pageviews_original WHERE pageid='home';
Message
----------------------------------------------
Created query with ID CSAS_PAGEVIEWS_HOME_17
----------------------------------------------
ksql> show streams;
Stream Name | Kafka Topic | Key Format | Value Format | Windowed
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KSQL_PROCESSING_LOG | default_ksql_processing_log | KAFKA | JSON | false
PAGEVIEWS_ALICE | PAGEVIEWS_ALICE | KAFKA | DELIMITED | false
PAGEVIEWS_HOME | PAGEVIEWS_HOME | KAFKA | DELIMITED | false
PAGEVIEWS_ORIGINAL | pageviews | KAFKA | DELIMITED | false
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is the proper way to accomplish this task via KsqDB REST interface?
