How to send a two-part POST request with curl?

I would like to use curl to send an HTTP POST request with a multipart body, which consists of two parts part1 and part2 like this: 

Content-Type: multipart/form-data; 
boundary=v6jSBESHUN0nHdfaw-GnE4zGVcg0OLfL1

--v6jSBESHUN0nHdfaw-GnE4zGVcg0OLfL1
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="part1"
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

abc
--v6jSBESHUN0nHdfaw-GnE4zGVcg0OLfL1
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="part2"
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

xyz
--v6jSBESHUN0nHdfaw-GnE4zGVcg0OLfL1--

Note that the content of part1 is abc and the content of part2 is xyz. The charset of part1 is ascii and the charset of part2 is utf-8.

I am trying to do it as follows:

curl -X POST -F "part1=abc" -F "part2=xyx" http://myhost/mypost

Unfortunately it did not do the trick. Besides, I did not find to how specify the charset of part2. How would you suggest send this request with curl ?

You can set the type with ;type=

curl -X POST -F "part1=abc" -F "part2=xyx;type=text/plain; charset=utf-8" http://myhost/mypost
