Thanks

I changed to -U (from -u) and got a bit further - but no document
returned but a "== Info: SSL: couldn't set callback!" message in the
trace log. I feel we are nearly there!

Command line used:

c:\curl\curl -D - -v -H "Content-type: text/xml" -d
@c:\curl\testfile.xml -U name:password -x proxy:port --proxy-ntlm
https://secure.dev.gateway.gov.uk/submission -k --trace-ascii
"c:\curl\trace2.txt" > c:\curl\response7.txt

response received:

-X POST is pointless as -d implies POST.

-u is for server authentication, and you need proxy authentication done
with
-U for that NTLM over proxy.

For a really good "trace", I recommend using "--trace-ascii dumpfile"
instead
of -D.
