Subject: How to: text/plain post

I'm using command line curl on Windows and want to do a POST with
Content-type=text/plain, not application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The
manual and examples are not helping me figure out how to do it. I have
used: 'curl -d @<filename> http://host:port/...' and the data is
received but since the receiving application does not expect urlencoded
data it does not decode it and then fails to process it properly.
 
What are the appropriate curl switches needed to do this?
 
Thanks,
 
Rick
