ok, i found that one out by googling. it might be nice to explicitly
state this way of removing a header in the manual. it _is_ mentioned,
but how about "eg. remove a header by giving an empty value", or "eg.
`-H "Expect:"' to remove this header"?

i used tcpdump and ngrep for this, unfortunately both have the tendency
to omit detail on packet boundaries. for example, i could see a MIME
boundary, but no value and so on. freebsd's supplied tcpdumps `-A'
(ASCII dump) is broken, and i just found out about the ethereal ->
wireshark renaming.

thanks for your help. watching how the browser did it allowed me
finally to get the auto-submitter working. curl proved to be the most
flexible tool for this task!
