Leke,

While it's good to use --data-binary, in your curl calls in both examples,
you are missing -H switch in front of the content type (look at the example
Knut provided), which makes it default to application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Make sure you include -H;

Knut (and others), Leke's original question mentioned dataElements, and it
got me looking too, and i noticed that while the documentation talks about
columns for the metadata csv content, it never gives the API endpoints for
importing metadata using CSV. Is that even possible? There are classes to
handle it in the code, and I know import/export app does it (i've used it),
but what about API?
