I'm trying to invoke
curl -d `cat data_file.txt` http://somehost/someurl
data_file.txt contains something like
'data={lots of json here}'
The problem is that cat is adding line wraps to a very large bit of text
that's on a single line in the data_file.txt.
Any idea on solving my problem?

2 things you could try:
1. use --data-urlencode as a switch
2.a. try curl --data @data_file.txt (data must be URL encoded)
2.b. cat data_file.txt | curl --data - http://somehost/someurl (my
syntax may be wrong here).

PS: This may be your issue : "Just be careful so that the content
doesn't contain any = or @ symbols, as that will then make the syntax
match one of the other cases below!" - from man curl
