Simple POST with cURL Sheel Script
When i execute this cURL command from my linux ubuntu CLI it executes as a GET instead of a POST request. What am i doing wrong here? I cant figure it out and its driving me insane!
Also this WORKS in postman, but when i run the exact cURL shell from postman i get a 400 from the API, the vendor is unable to specify what the issue is.

curl
-v
-POST
-H 'Accept: */*'
-H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate'
-H 'Cache-Control: no-cache'
-H 'Host: api.mapbox.com'
-H 'content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=——WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW'
-form file=@/home/matt/test.geojson.ld
--url 'https://api.mapbox.com/tilesets/v1/sources/achuhealth/mack-testing1?access_token=TOKEN'
-X POST is needed or --data which implies POST.
--data is probably what you are actually looking for.

also here is the direct example from the API docs

-F file=@/Users/username/data/mts/countries.geojson.ld \
--header "Content-Type: multipart/form-data"
Something seems incorrect with you escaping.
The above command works fine for me (without data return as access_token is invalid) using latest Ubuntu + latest bash shell.
Mention the OS + shell you're using, also provide output of...
