Is this the same problem you were having back on 9/24? You sure are patient.

Is the servlet giving you any useful error message? There are a number of possible problems, such as it does not like your XML, or it expects a particular Content-Type (e.g. text/xml). The latter would be a problem with the -d option, since that will use the Content-Type for an HTML form. Also, when using -d you are supposed to be sending encoded form parameters, which you are not. That might muck up either curl or the servlet (if curl mangles your XML in some way thinking it is form parameters).
