Okay, I've gotten through the first part.

However my -K file has double quotes in it (") and white space ( ). I've
turned the quotes into (\") and quoted all the way around the entire
command, and it curl gives me a warning that I"m submitting gibberish. I'm
also attaching a file with the -D file as an attachment and it seems to be
ignored.

Without the -K file, and putting everything on a single command line, all
the commands work correctly. Any ideas?
