cURL from Command line

Can I use cURL from the command line to post an authnet SOAP request? Can someone provide a code sample?

@Fairfielder108 I'm not aware of anyone, offhand, who has implemented the SOAP flavor of the Authorize.Net API, via cURL. However, a quick web search shows that others have implemented SOAP in general, using cURL:

That said, unless you have a business requirement that you must use SOAP, I would recommend that you use our XML/JSON flavors of the Authorize.Net API instead. SOAP is quickly becoming a legacy offering, and while it's not deprecated yet, I imagine it may become deprecated some time in the next few years.
