If I'm not mistaken you should be posting the XML directly (using the cURL flag "--data-binary") to:
http://localhost:8080/fedora/objects/marktest:1/datastreams/testmanagednewxml?controlGroup=M&dsLabel=NewManagedDatastream and you can abandon the "-T" flag entirely. You want the datastream contents -in- the POST message, not as an upload file, and the query string as part of your URL. E.g. curl --data-binary "<my XML data/>" http://localhost:8080/fedora/objects/marktest:1/datastreams/testmanagednewxml?controlGroup=M&dsLabel=NewManagedDatastream or curl --data-binary @my/xml/filepath http://localhost:8080/fedora/objects/marktest:1/datastreams/testmanagednewxml?controlGroup=M&dsLabel=NewManagedDatastream You may also need to include a content-type header, e.g. -H "Content-Type: text/xml" --- A.
