Problem

As an example, POSTing to a web server with the -v argument: And the output There is no mention of the data that I posted. Is there an option in cURL to display the string "firstname=john&lastname=doe" in the output? Note: Obviously the string I want is in the command I executed, but there are several other post options such as --form and --data-ascii etc. I'd like to see the raw data being sent to the server.

Error Output

curl -v http://testserver.com/post -d "firstname=john&lastname=doe"
