How to post PUT request under the Windows using curl?

Question

I need to post XML data via curl.exe under windows using PUT request.

In the curl help I found:

-d/--data    HTTP POST data (H)
         


        

Answer 1

curl sample calls

# with inlining plain data
curl -X PUT -d "payload" http://localhost
# referrring file
curl -X PUT -d @myXmlFile.xml http://localhost

If your windows curl-port does not support it go for cygwin. It is a linux-like environment for windows and also offers "a proper" curl.
