Hey @coolalexhuang,
This issue is caused because the string has an unescaped $, this needs to be \$.
So, doing something like:-
curl -X GET "https://alextest.com/" -H "5f005074: [jKanrLih\$!]SooCV5u)aI!pt9"
or using single quotes:-
curl -X GET "https://alextest.com/" -H '5f005074: [jKanrLih$!]SooCV5u)aI!pt9'
would solve the problem.

Let me know if this helps.
I am closing this issue for now, if you don't find this solution satisfactory, you can reopen the issue.
