Note that when you use the -d option, curl automatically does a POST so
there's no need for the -X option. Note also the what the documentation
says about the -d option:
This will cause curl to pass the data to the server using the
content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Admittedly, using -H in this case to change the Content-Type would be a
reasonable thing to expect to happen, but it sounds like it isn't
currently. What you could try is using -T option to send the data, then
-X POST to change the PUT that would normally be done for this option to
a POST.
