Hi I'm trying to use curl on the iphone to communicate with a certain host; for what I can see it doesn't work like that one on my pc (Debian etch).
If I try to make a request using -F option like this one:

curl "http://192.168.1.x/" -s -F "name=tony"

this is the result:

curl: option -F: is badly used here
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information

Shouldn't it be right?
Any helps?

I couldn't find how to made it with curl.
I solved with wget.

I had the same problem. Most of the things on my computer using curl use -F and have to be switched to -d to work on the iPhone. You already solved it, but this is what works for me:

curl http://192.168.1.x/ -s -d name="tony"
