That's not how it works.

First, use LiveHTTPHeaders and see what your browser does. There you'll learn
that multipart formposts sends the data as-is unencoded and just separates the
data pieces with separators. -F "name=this is a string" is how it is supposed
to be done.

Of course, if you want to feed newlines you'll need to play with your command
line or use other curl tricks like -F "name=<filename" or similar.
