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)

in windows you'll need to put the @ inside the quotes for the file you're sending:

curl -XPUT --data-binary "@uploadme.txt"

otherwise you'll get weird errors as it tries to use the content of the file as the url:

curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'upload'
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'me!'

(uploadme.txt contains "upload me!")
