    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.
