its not a regular POST, because i do not send any variable-value pairs.

the content of the request is xml code, which server receives and parses. as
far as i know (am i wrong?) i can only accomplish it by using custom
request.
it is not 'variable1=value1&variable2=value2' string, but appears that
either curl or the receiving server treats the & sign as the separator.

btw. customrequest is an answer to some other people, i've see a while ago,
asking how to solve such problem (sendind different content in http
request).

so i guess i'll have to snoop the transmission (which i would start with,
but can't ATM, so checking the mailing list :) ) to find out whether the
sign is sent right. and if it is, the problem is a receiver, which i can't
check too :)

exactly, but the server is prepared and waiting for such :) and the only
problem is the '&'...

aah, so when i tell curl to send '<blabla> &&& </blabla>', the server will
receive exactly the same?
no transformations, encoding and stuff? plain text?
