-F accepts parameters like -F "name=contents". If you want the contents to
be read from a file, use <@filename> as contents. When specifying a file,
you can also specify the file content type by appending ';type=<mime type>'
to the file name. You can also post the contents of several files in one field.
For example, the field name 'coolfiles' is used to send three files, with
different content types using the following syntax:
to the file name. You can also post the contents of several files in one
field. For example, the field name 'coolfiles' is used to send three files,
with different content types using the following syntax:
curl -F "coolfiles=@fil1.gif;type=image/gif,fil2.txt,fil3.html" \
http://www.post.com/postit.cgi
If the content-type is not specified, curl will try to guess from the file
extension (it only knows a few), or use the previously specified type
(from an earlier file if several files are specified in a list) or else it

Emulate a fill-in form with -F. Let's say you fill in three fields in a
form. One field is a file name which to post, one field is your name and one
field is a file description. We want to post the file we have written named
"cooltext.txt". To let curl do the posting of this data instead of your
favourite browser, you have to read the HTML source of the form page and find
the names of the input fields. In our example, the input field names are
'file', 'yourname' and 'filedescription'.
