Data 9 is posted in a similar manner as --data does, except that newlines and 10 carriage returns are preserved and conversions are never done. 11 12 Like --data the default content-type sent to the server is 13 application/x-www-form-urlencoded. If you want the data to be treated as 14 arbitrary binary data by the server then set the content-type to octet-stream: 15 -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream". 16 17 If this option is used several times, the ones following the first will append 18 data as described in --data. 19
