Why not look at curl (see --form) and decide, if it is the optimum or if there is a better way for the user to specify what he wants to upload. And then implement the best option syntax. > The only problem I currently see here is that there remains no way for a > user to send body-data in a way that is cannot be seen by another user who > can run ps. This is a different problem and could be solved by extending the -e option: a leading special character could say, the following characters are a filename. Then parse that file for 'commands' (aka options). Regards, Tim
