Annotation of embedaddon/curl/docs/cmdline-opts/data-binary.d, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       misho       1: Long: data-binary
                      2: Arg: <data>
                      3: Help: HTTP POST binary data
                      4: Protocols: HTTP
                      5: ---
                      6: This posts data exactly as specified with no extra processing whatsoever.
                      7: 
                      8: If you start the data with the letter @, the rest should be a filename.  Data
                      9: is posted in a similar manner as --data does, except that newlines and
                     10: carriage returns are preserved and conversions are never done.
                     11: 
                     12: Like --data the default content-type sent to the server is
                     13: application/x-www-form-urlencoded. If you want the data to be treated as
                     14: arbitrary binary data by the server then set the content-type to octet-stream:
                     15: -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream".
                     16: 
                     17: If this option is used several times, the ones following the first will append
                     18: data as described in --data.
