Curl post with multipart/form-data and JSON

Question

Is there a way to use curl to do a multipart/form-data post and specify that the data is application/json? It doesn't have to be curl.

Answer 1

This is what I use, and it works fine

curl -v -H "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" 
        -F "someName={\"your\":\"json\"};type=application/json"

Note: I'm on Windows, hence the requirement for double quotes

Or

-F "[email protected];type=application/json"
