| 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". |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
If you use --header literally instead of -H in the body text, it will get highlighted/linked correctly in the output.

I did that purposely I thought -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" would be less error prone if it were copied compared to -H, --header "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" |
