@@ -9,5 +9,10 @@ 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".
