[EP-tech] Adding files to an eprint using cURL

I have had to resort to praying to the EPrints angel, for the answer to this one.  We are trying to write a simple PHP cURL wrapper for the eprints functionality/API in CRUD.pm. 

We have got so far, but are not able to add documents.  We have tried several approaches including adding a complete EP xml object, with files embedded and have tried to add only the <documents> sub object to a pre-existing eprint, using cURL.

Nothing seems to work, and I don't know what is wrong.  Our latest attempt is to add the files as a POST attachment.

curl -X POST -i -u dkane:maggots22 -d 'Hello, World!' -H 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=/var/www/test.xml' -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' http://witeprints/id/eprint/26/contents

A lot of this is documented in http://wiki.eprints.org/w/API:EPrints/Apache/CRUD 

We are out of luck at the moment.  Could it be a bug?  If somebody else could try this CURL command, we'd be much obliged.  We are working on EPrints 3.3.11

Many thanks,

David Kane.
