curl payload conversion

I am able to call a REST service with an MVS data set using the standard z/OS "//" style, as follows:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X PUT -d @"//'DVFJS.TC.TXT'" https://{hostname}/communication/rest/templateCommunication/{resourceID}

However the MVS data set has to already be in the appropriate codepage (ASCII or whatever).  Is there anything I can do at the curl level to indicate that the source file is in EBCDIC and should first be converted to another codepage?

Hi Frank Swarbrick,
You can try the following:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X PUT -d  `cat "//'DVFJS.TC.TXT'"`
Thanks,
Alex

Thanks Alexander.  I'm not too Unix savvy so I never would have figured this out.
For what its worth, I also got this working with a "form" upload.
Note, I also decided to use $() instead of back quotes. 

//CURLTEST JOB NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//UNIX EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH
//STDOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//STDERR DD SYSOUT=*
//STDPARM DD *
SH curl
--trace-ascii /dev/stderr
--silent
--header "X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck"
--form "file= <this is a test>: tst2.txt;filename=tst1.txt"
--form "file=$(cat "//'DVFJS.TEST.TXT'");filename=tst2.txt"
--form "file= $(cat "//'DVFJS.TCE.TXT'");filename=tst3.txt"

Note that I put a space after "file=".  This seems to be required if the first character in the file is '<'.  I assume the shell was interpreting that as a redirection, or some such thing.

Thanks for you help!
