Quote:

Quote:

curl -H "Filename=file.php" -F "upload=@file.jpg" localhost/upload.php

also i used thsi:

Quote:

curl --request POST -H "Filename=file.php" --data-binary "@file.jpg" localhost/upload.php

what should i do?

HTTP Header format is "Name: Value" not "Name=Value"

But "Filename" is a weird sounding header... sounds like it would be more at home in a form value

aha , TNX man

when i use -H switch , i should use --data-binary mode or it doesn't matter?

Headers have nothign to do with binary data. Every HTTP request has headers, it doesn't relate at all to POST data. I think you've got a few concepts at different levels a bit mixed up here.
