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