Re: Command Line POST question

well the problem is that the server is expecting "POST /wctp http/1.1"
if just post is used or the -X option not used at all it defaults to POST
http/1.1.
So my question is can you set the -X option using the command line to
"POST /wctp http/1.1"? or is this not possible using the command line for
curl?
