# `--data-urlencode`
|
|
|
|
Post 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
|
|
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
|
|
URL-encode the content and pass that on. The preceding `=` symbol is not
|
|
included in the data.
|
|
|
|
## name=content
|
|
URL-encode the content part and pass that on. Note that the name part is
|
|
expected to be URL-encoded already.
|
|
|
|
## @filename
|
|
load data from the given file (including any newlines), URL-encode that data
|
|
and pass it on in the POST.
|
|
|
|
## name@filename
|
|
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.
