xml - Curl -d command from the terminal -

i had specific question in regards curl. want phone call xml page , executing terminal:

curl -d @<xml page> <url>

however when execute next command, following:

invalid request construction

in xml page request follows:

<example type="request"> <dologin> <username>my_username</username> <password>my_password</password> <...other details> </dologin> </example>

how pass parameters username , password in curl command?

if want post xml file, seek doing :

curl -d "@./file.xml" -x post -h 'content-type:text/xml' http://domain.tld/path

if instead username/password handled basic auth, seek doing using unix shell:

user=$(xmllint --xpath '/example/dologin/username/text()' file.xml) pass=$(xmllint --xpath '/example/dologin/password/text()' file.xml) curl -u "$user:$pass" http://domain.tld/path

xml file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <example type="request"> <dologin> <username>my_username</username> <password>my_password</password> <...other details> </dologin> </example>

xml curl
