I have been studying over the help page for the last few days, it seems to make sense but when I make this call:

curl -b headers -F "file=C:\test.gif" -F "submit=Submit" "ht
tp://134.89.12.106:8088/mer-app/upload.jsp?folderResourceName=%2Fusers%2Fneil%2F
public%2Fimages&folderDisplayName=Images&userFolderIndex=1"

It just spits out the HTML for that page... It makes no note of dealing with the form....

What should I look for if curl is successful? Is this the proper way to submit a file on this form?

<form method="POST" action="UploadServlet?folderName=%2fusers%2fneil%2fpublic%2
fimages&amp;redirUrl=merspace2.jsp%3fuserFolderIndex%3d1" ENCTYPE="multipart/for
m-data">

  <table style="border: 1px solid #6666ff; width:80%; " class="contentTable">
   <tr>
    <th align="right" width="80" class="cellHead">folder:</th>
    <td class="contentCell">Images</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
    <th align="right" width="80" class="cellHead">file:</th>
    <td class="contentCell2"><input class="contentInput" style="width: 100%;" ty
pe="FILE" name="file"/></td>
   </tr>

  </table>

  <input type="submit" class="contentButton" style="margin: 40px;" name="submit"
 value="Submit"/>
  <input type="button" class="contentButton" style="margin: 40px;" name="back"
value="Back" onclick="go_back()"/>

 </form>

Thank you for your help

How is the HTML for this form? File upload forms are typically multi-part and
then you should use -F instead of -d ...
