Arghhh! Looks like the server has an HTML filter which removed the greater-than and less-than in my report, so it doesn't make any sense. Please disregard the original and read this instead. [ = less than ] = greater than

In curl version 7.24.0, in Mac OS X, in the man page, the examples given for the -POST data options: d, -data etc. all have a space between the option and the data. Example: --data [data]. When I do this, it doesn't work. The server gets the data "ata". I noticed that these three characters were the last three characters in the option "data". So I tried it without the space, -d[data], and it worked.
