Thanks Shalin.

And Giovanni, yes it definitely works.

This will set literal.mydata to the contents of mydata.txt

curl 
"http://localhost:8983/solr/update/extract?literal.id=doc1&uprefix=attr_&fmap.content=attr_content&commit=true";
-F "myfi...@tutorial.html" -F "literal.mydata=<mydata.txt"

Unfortunately I could not get the UTF-8 encoding to work property.
It's probably a curl or o/s configuration issue. I tried mydata.txt
with and without BOM and I can do a "more mydata.txt" command and the
special characters display correctly on my terminal set to UTF-8 but
they get screwed up when indexed.

I gave up in the end and went back to putting it urlencoded in the url.
