Curl setting Content-Type incorrectly

Question

I am running a curl operation on the command line and am having trouble forcing the header to set as XML  I use the -H option to force the Content-Type to be xml  however  once I run the command I can see that the header is sent as urlencoded which is tainting one of the data values that I m sending  Can someone explain to me why the Content-Type is always reset back to  application x-www-form-urlencoded  instead of  application atom xml    I am using this to  retrieve an upload token from YouTube using their API  I have no trouble retrieving an authentication token using a similar command    curl -S -v  --location http   gdata youtube com action GetUploadToken -H Content-Type  text xml --data content some xml content here --data GoogleLogin auth  DQAAAHU     TiU95NXYSLFFENTbNQUy    NjfFoC0nyEKaz-ejEkA w  -H X-Gdata-Key  key AI39si5EQyo- L      78eL80r-MooHXtrA48R82AShoQ -H Content-Length 445

I think you want to specify   -H  Content-Type text xml    with a colon  not an equals
