Then I don't think -d is what you want. -d is mainly for filling out HTML
forms and submit data to CGIs and similarly. They mostly don't even know what
kind of Content-type the POST is made with.

That's a mistake. I'll correct that in the next release.

Still, what are you trying to accomplish with this Content-type thing? Isn't
a -F post what you really want? Using that, you can control content-type
too...
