--form-string

Similar to --form except that the value string for the named parameter is used literally. Leading ‘@’ and ‘<’ characters, and the ‘;type=’ string in the value have no special meaning. Use this in preference to --form if there is any possibility that the string value may accidentally trigger the ‘@’ or ‘<’ features of --form.
