I'm issuing the command (line broken for readability):

        curl -H"X-RequestIsAbsolutePath: F" \
        -T /tmp/out \
        -H'Content-Type: application/xml' \
        "http://localhost:8182/metadata/036-Rotated.JPG"

I'm sending a message body of XML. I get a complaint from the XML
parser on the server about content not being allowed in the prolog. I
added a --trace-acii option to the command line and see:

=> Send header, 270 bytes (0x10e)
0000: PUT /metadata/036-Rotated.JPG HTTP/1.1
0028: User-Agent: curl/7.19.4 (i386-apple-darwin9.6.0) libcurl/7.19.4

0080: on editable="1" type="unsignedShort">. <value raw="3"/>.
00c0: </ImageOrientation>. </Core>.</metadata>.

Why is curl sending the command-line itself as part of the message
body? Of course the XML parser will complain. How can I get curl to
stop doing that and send only the contents of the file passed as an
argument to the -T option?
