If you run it with -d, you will see something like this: POST /someurl HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: Wget/1.10 Accept: */* Host: www.exelana.com Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 7 ---request end--- [writing POST file data ... done] To post a file as an argument, you need a Content-Type of multipart/form-data, which wget does not currently support.
