curl

    1: Long: data-urlencode
    2: Arg: <data>
    3: Help: HTTP POST data url encoded
    4: Protocols: HTTP
    5: See-also: data data-raw
    6: Added: 7.18.0
    7: ---
    8: This posts data, similar to the other --data options with the exception
    9: that this performs URL-encoding.
   10: 
   11: To be CGI-compliant, the <data> part should begin with a \fIname\fP followed
   12: by a separator and a content specification. The <data> part can be passed to
   13: curl using one of the following syntaxes:
   14: .RS
   15: .IP "content"
   16: This will make curl URL-encode the content and pass that on. Just be careful
   17: so that the content doesn't contain any = or @ symbols, as that will then make
   18: the syntax match one of the other cases below!
   19: .IP "=content"
   20: This will make curl URL-encode the content and pass that on. The preceding =
   21: symbol is not included in the data.
   22: .IP "name=content"
   23: This will make curl URL-encode the content part and pass that on. Note that
   24: the name part is expected to be URL-encoded already.
   25: .IP "@filename"
   26: This will make curl load data from the given file (including any newlines),
   27: URL-encode that data and pass it on in the POST.
   28: .IP "name@filename"
   29: This will make curl load data from the given file (including any newlines),
   30: URL-encode that data and pass it on in the POST. The name part gets an equal
   31: sign appended, resulting in \fIname=urlencoded-file-content\fP. Note that the
   32: name is expected to be URL-encoded already.
