This makes curl pass the data to the server using the -content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Compare to --form. - ---data-raw is almost the same but does not have a special interpretation of -the @ character. To post data purely binary, you should instead use the ---data-binary option. To URL-encode the value of a form field you may use ---data-urlencode. - -If any of these options is used more than once on the same command line, the -data pieces specified are merged with a separating &-symbol. Thus, using -'-d name=daniel -d skill=lousy' would generate a post chunk that looks like -'name=daniel&skill=lousy'. - -If you start the data with the letter @, the rest should be a file name to -read the data from, or - if you want curl to read the data from stdin. Posting -data from a file named 'foobar' would thus be done with --data @foobar. When ---data is told to read from a file like that, carriage returns and newlines -are stripped out. If you do not want the @ character to have a special -interpretation use --data-raw instead. - -The data for this option is passed on to the server exactly as provided on the -command line. curl does not convert, change or improve it. It is up to the -user to provide the data in the correct form. |
