Due to https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/src/tool_getparam.c#L879-L880,
--jsonis actually an alias for--data-binary, not--data. Assuming the code is as intended, the documentation should reflect that.I encountered this by switching from
-h 'Content-Type: application/json' -d @invalid.jsonto--json @invalid.jsonin a test, that expected a parsing-error, which contains some information about the line and column. However, due to effectively switching to--data-binary, the line and column were off and the test failed.This PR does not change the behaviour of this test, but correctly informs the user about the actual behaviour of
--json.
