Thanks for the tips. I changed the "@" sign to "name=" and it made it past
authentication!

Could there be a -G somewhere in your data.txt file? If it ended up in just
the right place, I suppose it could have triggered curl's '--get' mode,
where -d (POST) request gets turned into a GET request instead...

I believe your script is slightly flawed though. Instead of:

  data=`cat $1`
  ...
  curl ... -d "@$data"

I think you actually need:

  curl ... -d "@$1"

The @-sign tells curl to do the reading from the file, so your cat command
is unnecessary.

You might also need to use --data-binary (if you require preserving newlines
and other less-than-printable characters).
