Hello

I'm relatively new to cURL and new to HTTP Request.

I need to create a HTTP Request in following format:

POST <POST URL HERE> HTTP/1.1<cr/lf>
Host: <CONNECT URL HERE><cr/lf>
Content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary=BOUNDARY<cr/lf>
Content-length: 1040<cr/lf>
<cr/lf>
--BOUNDARY<cr/lf>
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded<cr/lf>
Content-length: 140<cr/lf>
<cr/lf>
AppVersion=2.2&Accept123LicenseAgreement=Yes&ResponseType=application/x-123-456&VersionNumber=2222&UserId=useridvalue&Password=passwordvalue<cr/lf>
<cr/lf>
--BOUNDARY<cr/lf>
Content-type: application/x-ups-binary<cr/lf>
Content-length: 719<cr/lf>
<cr/lf>
<UPLOAD DATA HERE - LOADED FROM FILE><cr/lf>
<cr/lf>
--BOUNDARY--<cr/lf>

The HTTP Header is fairly 'static' (except Content-length: 1040 and
Content-length: 719).

We are using Progress (database & language) to create a data file (<UPLOAD
DATA HERE - LOADED FROM FILE>), and I know the file size.
Since rest of the Header is static I will know the value for top most
'Content-length'.

I need to create HTTP Headers (from first Content-type) all the way to
last line (--BOUNDARY) - except the <UPLOAD DATA HERE - LOADED FROM FILE>
section
which is created by my application, using only cURL command line
parameters.

I have tried various combinations of startup parameters (-d, -F, -H) but I
can not 're-produce' the header as requested.

Is it possible to 'create' a header as required using only cURL command
line parameters?

Thanks
Jan
