Well I have tried 2 things:

1. I now understand the 'boundary' logic, so I left out of my command line
"boundary=BOUNDARY" and also left out the Content-length: for individual
sub-parts.
    But I'm still getting the feedback from server 'Missing AppVersion'.
    - also tried with just a 'AppVersion=1.0' in that DATA1.TXT file -
same result: 'Missing AppVersion'
    - also tried with url-encoding a 'AppVersion=1.0' as
'AppVersion=1%2E0' in that DATA1.TXT file - same result: 'Missing
AppVersion'

This will be a preferred solution for us (to construct the entire thing
and send it with -d). I have tied to send the following:

Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary=------------------------------814d8b8ab9f8
Content-length: 1036

------------------------------814d8b8ab9f8
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-length: 136

AppVersion=1.0&AcceptUPSLicenseAgreement=Yes&ResponseType=application/x-ups-pld&VersionNumber=V4R1&UserId=userid&Password=password

------------------------------814d8b8ab9f8
Content-type: application/x-ups-binary
Content-length: 719

------------------------------814d8b8ab9f8--

cURL sent the following:

Questions:
- To construct it ourselves do we need to url-encode every line, every
string.
- I have tried with url-encoding CR/LF at the end of each line as %0D%0A
but it didn't work.
- What else we need to do to construct it properly.

3. Sorry for the disclaimers, but I can not do nothing about them.

I obviously don't know much about cURL, even less about posting HTTP
Request
formatted as requested. Thanks for your replies and patience.
