I'm confused by this report. You seem to be interchanging one dash, two dashes and no dashes indiscriminently. The number of dashes is critical: -d is not the same as --dash which is not the same as d. --data DATA works fine, as does -dDATA but -data DATA is not going to do what you want. Please double-check your arguments with the documentation and and if it still doesn't work, please let us know.

** [bugs:#1279] Man Page: POST --data<space><data> space is wrong**

In curl version 7.24.0, in Mac OS X 10.8, in the man page, the examples given for the -POST data options: d, -data etc. all have a space between the option and the data.  Example: --data <data>.  When I do this, it doesn't work.  The server gets the data "ata".  I noticed that these three characters were the last three characters in the option "data".  So I tried it without the space, -d<data>, and it worked.
