How to post PUT request under the Windows using curl?

Solution 1
curl sample calls
# with inlining plain data
curl -X PUT -d "payload" http://localhost
# referrring file
curl -X PUT -d @myXmlFile.xml http://localhost
If your windows curl-port does not support it go for cygwin. It is a linux-like environment for windows and also offers "a proper" curl.
Solution 2
In windows, if a double-quoted argument itself contains a double quote character, the double quote must be doubled.
For example, enter 'This is "quoted" payload' as "This is ""quoted"" payload" which is very different than in Unix.
Example:
curl -X PUT -d "This is ""quoted"" payload" http://localhost
Solution 3
in windows you'll need to put the @ inside the quotes for the file you're sending:
curl -XPUT --data-binary "@uploadme.txt"
otherwise you'll get weird errors as it tries to use the content of the file as the url:
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'upload'
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'me!'
(uploadme.txt contains "upload me!")

I need to post XML data via curl.exe under windows using PUT request.
In the curl help I found:
-d/--data <data> HTTP POST data (H)
What should I supply for
<data>
?
