Curl (*nix) upload file to ASP.NET

Question

I have an old redhat 8 box that I need to pragmatically send files to my webserver from. Disregarding the security issues with this, I've come up with the following way.

curl -F file=@<filename> http://webhost/reciever.aspx

The problem is, no matter what I try, the ASP.NET page is not accepting the file. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

What version of ASP.Net are you posting too?

Normally ASP.net will check to make sure the form was visited before processing the postback. This behaviour can be disabled with enableViewStateMac="false" in the page declaration.
