I'm just getting started creating my first PHP web site and this is my
first day trying to use curl. I must be making some really basic mistake.
I can post to my page manually without any trouble. After the post the new
file is moved to a permanent directory with post_action.php.

I'm trying to get the same results using curl as shown below.
curl -F userfile=@/FoxServ/curl/README -F press=OK
http://localhost/post_tst.html

When I do this I get the post_tst.html file echoed back to me in the command
window:
<form method="POST" enctype='multipart/form-data' action="post_action.php"
ID="Form1">
      <input type=file name=userfile ID="File1">
      <input type=submit name=press value="OK" ID="Submit1">
    </form>

Is this expected? How can I confirm that my post_action.php is ever
called? (It doesn't
appear to be.)

The only debugging I tried is using trace. --trace appears to show a
connection and the file being sent.

Please help!

Thanks,
Dave
