[Haskell-beginners] Network.Curl POST body not showing up

[Michael Xavier]

I've tried 3 different HTTP libraries for this project: Network.HTTP (which
doesn't support SSL), Network.Curl, and http-enumerator. This project
requires SSL, HTTP Basic Auth and Post. Network.HTTP does not support SSL
and http-enumerator does not support HTTP basic authentication. The
maintainer said he'd welcome a patch to it but I don't really have the time
or skill at this stage to implement something like that.

So I'm stuck with trying to coerce curl into doing what I need it to do.
Hopefully someone on this list has been able to successfully POST a string
body with Network.Curl
