You're using -F which is for Form data ... is that what you want?
I use --data-binary for a zip file, to an NginX front end, and that works
just fine. (-d does not work; my zip file gets truncated at the first 0,
and I think there's URL_ENCODING applied before that ). Curl isn't the
usual client for my app -- instead, I use libcurl inside my app, which
doesn't seem to mind binary. I do set the content-type header, and I
provide the size via CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE.
