This is a malformed first line. In requires a space after the POST keyword.

"text(/htmlm" ?

If you only post one file, do you really need this? This "keep-alive" is by
the way HTTP 1.0-style only.

Wrong spelling.

You need an empty line between the end of the headers and the start of the
body...

Store the full XML data in a file. Let's call it xml.txt for now:

1. To POST the data specified in the file use "-d @xml.txt"
2. You want that User-Agent header? Use "-A Java.1.8"
3. You need HTTP 1.0 rather than 1.1? Use --http1.0
4. You want that weird Accept: line? Use '-H "Accept: bla bla yada yada"'
5. Set that content-type with '-H "Content-Type:application/x-sap.busdoc"'
6. Append the URL
7. Write all options on one line
8. fire off ;-)

Good luck!
