Thanks for that! I took your suggestion as a basis and expanded it somewhat and I've pushed this change: https://github.com/bagder/curl/commit/0a691f8935f49249c71f8926bbbdb9053096bfe7

It will be visible in the online version of the man page within the hour.

I hereby consider this case closed!

** [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.
