curl simulate HTTP POST

in windows I use following command

curl http://172.19.xx.xxx/XmlConfig -u guest:password -d@cmd.txt -basic -v -L -c c.txt

-u for username and password

-d@ read HTTP message body from cmd.txt file

-basic: BASIC Authentication

-v: verbose output

-L : auto follow redirect

-c:save and load cookie from c.txt,and auto manage session by cookie

in linux:

curl http://172.19.xxx.xxx/XmlConfig -u guest:password -d '' -basic -v -L -c c.txt

this one I put the HTTP message body in command like directly

when curl output it will print curl message started with star(*), the data been send with by curl "<",data received with "<".
