Both of them are equivalent. The problem is not there.

kris, post-file expects the POST payload, not a file. The man page
says it very explicitely:

You could make a multipart/form-data upload, but you would need an
script for wrapping, plus --header to set the proper Content-type. Also,
the option

--header="Content-Type: image/jpg" you were providing is meaningless, since php 
doesn't know how to parse that mimetype.
