I've been struggling for a while to post a UPS-specified message to https
using curl.

UPS (the parcels company) gave me the php script (below)

I've tried:
$ curl --header "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=BOUNDARY" -
--data pld.txt "https://www.pld-certify.ups.com/hapld/tos/kdwhapltos"

and various other variations (using curl 7.14.1 alpha-hp-vms), but I can't
guess how the curl command line corresponds to the php/curl api.

Can anyone tell me how to do it, or point me to a good document please?
The php libcurl package doesn't seem to be available for the openvms
platform.
curl -h output below the php.
I'm using openvms alpha 7.3-1.
If I need to supply any further information, please ask.

Thanks
Chris
