Is it possible to simplify:

```bash
curl 'https://codeberg.org/Benjamin_Loison/Markdown/markup' \
-H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----geckoformboundaryXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' \
-H 'Cookie: cb_sessionid=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' \
--data-binary \
$'------geckoformboundaryXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="mode"\r\n\r\ncomment\r\n------geckoformboundaryXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="text"\r\n\r\n```python\r\nprint(\'test\')\r\n```\r\n------geckoformboundaryXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX--\r\n'
```

to get rid of `geckoformboundary`?

Yes, you can simplify the curl command by letting curl automatically generate the boundary for you. Here’s how you can rewrite it:

bash
curl 'https://codeberg.org/Benjamin_Loison/Markdown/markup' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -H 'Cookie: cb_sessionid=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' \
  -F 'mode=comment' \
  -F 'text=$'"$'```python\nprint(\\'test\\')\n```'"

Key Changes:

  1. Removed the manual boundary: curl will generate its own boundary when the Content-Type header is set to multipart/form-data.
  2. Used -F for form data: This simplifies the construction of the multipart form data. You can pass the mode and text fields directly using -F.
  3. Escaped the Python code: The Python code is passed as a string using -F for the text field.

This achieves the same result but is much cleaner and easier to maintain.
