exactly the bytes you give it** (except that when reading from a file. `-d`
will skip over the carriage returns and newlines so you need to use
`--data-binary` if you rather intend them to be included in the data.).

To send a POST body that starts with a `@` symbol, to avoid that curl tries to

loading capability:

curl --data-raw '@string' https://example.com
