- switch all invidual files documenting command line options into .md, as the documentation is now markdown-looking. - made the parser treat 4-space indents as quotes - switch to building the curl.1 manpage using the "mainpage.idx" file, which lists the files to include to generate it, instead of using the previous page-footer/headers. Also, those files are now also .md ones, using the same format. I gave them underscore prefixes to make them sort separately: _NAME.md, _SYNOPSIS.md, _DESCRIPTION.md, _URL.md, _GLOBBING.md, _VARIABLES.md, _OUTPUT.md, _PROTOCOLS.md, _PROGRESS.md, _VERSION.md, _OPTIONS.md, _FILES.md, _ENVIRONMENT.md, _PROXYPREFIX.md, _EXITCODES.md, _BUGS.md, _AUTHORS.md, _WWW.md, _SEEALSO.md - updated test cases accordingly Closes #12751

# `--data-binary`
|
|
|
|
This posts data exactly as specified with no extra processing whatsoever.
|
|
|
|
If you start the data with the letter @, the rest should be a filename. Data
|
|
is posted in a similar manner as --data does, except that newlines and
|
|
carriage returns are preserved and conversions are never done.
|
|
|
|
Like --data the default content-type sent to the server is
|
|
application/x-www-form-urlencoded. If you want the data to be treated as
|
|
arbitrary binary data by the server then set the content-type to octet-stream:
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream".
|
|
|
|
If this option is used several times, the ones following the first append
|
|
data as described in --data.
