emulate RoR web from with cURL?

I tried the following command curl -F "uploaded_data=@curltest.docx" http://localhost:3000/raw_data_files/create

and got the following errors from attachment_fu (file upload plugin)

There were problems with the following fields:     * Content type can't be blank     * Size is not included in the list     * Size can't be blank     * Filename can't be blank

Here's my view which works fine on the upload (unlike cURL): <%= error_messages_for :raw_data_file %>

<% form_for(:raw_data_file, :url => raw_data_files_path, :html => { :multipart => true }) do |form| %>   <p>     <label for="uploaded_data">Upload a file:</label>     <%= form.file_field :uploaded_data %>   </p>

  <p> <%= submit_tag "Create" %> </p> <% end %>

How do I manually set the filename, size, and content type in cURL? It works fine with the above RoR view.

Are you sure "uploaded_data" is the name of the *HTML* field that your view produces? I think it's gonna really be "raw_data_file[uploaded_data]".

So your curl test is getting a blank upload and all those errors are because that information about your file (which it never got) is missing.
