HTTPRequest equivalent to cURL

I have this particular cURL statement that I am trying to figure out the equivalent for it in an HTTP Request.

curl -X POST --upload-file movie-data-2013.json doc-movies-123456789012.us-east-1.cloudsearch.amazonaws.com/2013-01-01/documents/batch --header "Content-Type:application/json"

So far the HTTP Request equivalent I am able to compile is below:

Set oHTTPRequest = Server.CreateObject( "MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0" ) 
oHTTPRequest.Open "POST" _
              ,"doc-movies-123456789012.us-east-1.cloudsearch.amazonaws.com/2013-01-01/documents/batch" _
              False
oHTTPRequest.setRequestHeader "Content-type", "application/json"
oHTTPRequest.Send

For the most part I should be set, except there's one part it's missing, and I'm unsure how it's appended to the request.

There is a part in cURL that says: --upload-file movie-data-2013.json Not sure how it applies in an HTTP Request. Does anyone how this applies?

I'd recommend trying .Net's built-in HttpWebRequest class over MSXML. There is an example of uploading text data on MSDN using the GetRequestStream method. You should be able to easily modify the sample to instead read the data from a file, for example using File.ReadAllBytes, and then write the returned data to the request stream.
