Mac OS X 10.3.4, curl version 7.10.2

The code:

curl -A 'Mozilla/4.0' -e 'http://scriptbuilders.net/upload.php'
-F 'author_name=TEST'
-F 'author_email=TEST'
-F 'author_url=TEST'
-F 'display_email=false'
-F 'script_name=TEST'
-F 'version=1'
-F 'osax=None'
-F 'requirements=None'
-F 'license=Freeware'
-F 'script_type=Editable'
-F 'selected_os[]=1'
-F 'board=45'
-F 'is_update=false'
-F 'MAX_FILE_SIZE=100000000'
-F 'short_desc=TEST'
-F 'description=TEST'
-F 'submit=foo'
-F 'file=@/Users/julifos/Desktop/test.sit'
'http://scriptbuilders.net/upload.php'
--trace-ascii ~/Desktop/trace.txt

A copy of 'trace-ascii' and 'trace', here:

http://homepage.mac.com/julifos/traces.zip

The trace seems OK, but the form is not sent, and the file is not uploaded.
The page I receive as answer is the same with the upload form, with the
fields filled with the provided values, and it should be a different page,
with a preview of the new entry in the database.

In the checkboxes I tried different things: true/false, 0/1, CHECKED...
Seems that true/false is OK (I tested the form in my private server and
checked the expected values, making a trace of received variables...) So, I
don't know if I'm missing something in this script... Apparently all is OK,
as I understand reading curl's man page and reading the trace files.
The action of the form is "", which I interpreted as "self", that is, the
same url where the upload.php is located.

Cheers!

* Perhaps could exist a limitation in the server or php-form processing? I
added a "fake" user-agent, just in case, and a referer. I think cookies are
not required.
