HTTP POST into a form from curl

I want to post some data from file.txt into a form on the website. Curl can do it from command line:

curl -X POST -d @filename.txt -u usernamehere:passwordhere https://server.company.com/session/sync.jsp

The content of filename.txt is pairs of name=value separated by &. E.g.

id=1&options=doit&field3=Submit

Code pre-formatted text to Blog

To paste code or pre-formatted text into Blog use pre tags (mind those spaces)

< pre >
< / pre >
