Summary: a new option to specify a file containing POST request body

Initial Comment:
First off, great work! Curl is an extremely handy utility.
We are currently using it to send HTTP SOAP POST
requests for testing purposes. The one frustrating part is
that these requests are often several a few lines long
and having to cram them into a command line argument,
escape all the quotes, etc.. is a pain. It would be
awesome if you could add a new command line option for
specifying a text file containing the body data for a
POST request. For example:

curl --data-file GetVendorRequest.txt -H Content-
type:text/xml -H SOAPAction:GetVendor
http://localhost:7001/axis/services/foo

Thanks for considering this feature!
Best regards,
Ian
