To process a POST request using CURL.

The data will use the application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoding.

Lets say you have the following POST form in your page:

<form method="POST" action="process.php">
          <input type=text name="item">
          <input type=text name="category">
          <input type=submit name="submit" value="ok">
</form>

You can use the following CURL command to POST the request.

curl -d "item=bottle&category=consumer&submit=ok" www.example.com/process.php
