Thanks for that.

If I use
curl --data-binary "@C:\rmtestpo.xml" -u user:password --header
CONTENT_TYPE:text/xml "https://test.banner-online.com/test.asp"

The following is received in the header by the server:

HTTP_ACCEPT:image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*
HTTP_HOST:tesr.banner-online.com
HTTP_USER_AGENT:curl/7.10.5 (win32) libcurl/7.10.5 OpenSSL/0.9.7azlib/1.1.4
HTTP_PRAGMA:no-cache
HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:Basic cm1haWw6cmVkdmFu
HTTP_CONTENT_LENGTH:6710
HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE:application/x-www-form-urlencoded
HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE:text/xml

Is there any way of suppressing
HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE:application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Regards,

Richard
