--data-urlencode
This posts data, similar to the other --data options with the exception that this performs URL-encoding.
To be CGI-compliant, the <data> part should begin with a name followed by a separator and a content specification. The <data> part can be passed to curl using one of the following syntaxes:
content
This makes curl URL-encode the content and pass that on. Just be careful so that the content does not contain any = or @ symbols, as that makes the syntax match one of the other cases below!
=content
This makes curl URL-encode the content and pass that on. The preceding = symbol is not included in the data.
name=content
This makes curl URL-encode the content part and pass that on. Note that the name part is expected to be URL-encoded already.
@filename
This makes curl load data from the given file (including any newlines), URL-encode that data and pass it on in the POST.
name@filename
This makes curl load data from the given file (including any newlines), URL-encode that data and pass it on in the POST. The name part gets an equal sign appended, resulting in name=urlencoded-file-content. Note that the name is expected to be URL-encoded already.
