Ah I didn't know about the '@'.

$ echo -e "data....\n---" | lynx -dump -post_data
https://www.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Rate
or
$ echo -e "data...\n" | curl --url https://www.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Rate -d
@-

I get the same result from the server saying my xml data was well form but
invalid. If I post my data using a filename or on the command line, I get
the desired results from ups.

My question (if I may ask) is, how can the ups server detect the difference
of how I'm posting the data to curl or lynx?
