CLI cURL: Cannot set content-type

I am trying to POST an XML file but I am running into two problems:
 
1 - There are one or two FFFE double-byte values before the first
character of the POST
2 - the Content-Type in the header is always
application/x-www-form-urlencoded
3 - the POST is empty
 
I have tried --data @sendfile.xml, --data-ascii @sendfile.xml and
--data-binary @sendfile.xml, but the result is problems 1 & 2. I have
also tried --header Content-Type:"text/xml" as shown below, but while
the Content-Type is set correctly, the POST is empty (problem 3).
 
Here are the command line variants being used:
 
curl --header SOAPAction:"SendLeads" --data @sendfile.xml
http://hebe/crm/CustomPages/jrl.asp
curl --header SOAPAction:"SendLeads" --data-ascii @sendfile.xml
http://hebe/crm/CustomPages/jrl.asp
curl --header SOAPAction:"SendLeads" --data-binary @sendfile.xml
http://hebe/crm/CustomPages/jrl.asp
curl --header SOAPAction:"SendLeads" --header Content-Type:"text/xml"
--data @sendfile.xml http://hebe/crm/CustomPages/jrl.asp
curl --header SOAPAction:"SendLeads" --data @sendfile.xml --header
Content-Type:"text/xml" http://hebe/crm/CustomPages/jrl.asp
 
So please tell me, kind gentlemen, what the ____ am I doing wrong
here???
 
Thank you so very much...
