Is there a way to throw FMPXMLRESULT as payload at CWP to create new records in FileMaker?

Is there a way to query CWP using FMPXMLRESULT as payload to create new records in FileMaker? Goal is to be able to insert records from command line using curl from FMPXMLRESULT files to avoid a somewhat clunky query from FileMaker XML import.

I tried the following:

cd /tmp/
curl -X POST -kL -o /tmp/findany.fmpxmresult.xml "user:[email protected]/fmi/xml/FMPXMLRESULT.xml?-db=PushTest&-lay=Table&-findany"
curl -X POST -kL --data @findany.fmpxmlresult.xml "user:[email protected]/fmi/xml/FMPXMLRESULT.xml?-db=PushTest&-lay=Table&-new"

A new record is created, however the payload is ignored.

Payload below FTR

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?><!DOCTYPE FMPXMLRESULT PUBLIC "-//FMI//DTD FMPXMLRESULT//EN" "http://127.0.0.1/fmi/xml/FMPXMLRESULT.dtd">
<FMPXMLRESULT xmlns="http://www.filemaker.com/fmpxmlresult">

  <PRODUCT BUILD="03/16/20" NAME="FileMaker Web Publishing Engine" VERSION="18.0.4.428"></PRODUCT>
  <DATABASE DATEFORMAT="MM/dd/yyyy" LAYOUT="Table" NAME="PushTest" RECORDS="17" TIMEFORMAT="HH:mm:ss"></DATABASE>

    <FIELD EMPTYOK="YES" MAXREPEAT="1" NAME="timestamp" TYPE="TIMESTAMP"></FIELD>
    <FIELD EMPTYOK="YES" MAXREPEAT="1" NAME="time" TYPE="TIME"></FIELD>
    <FIELD EMPTYOK="YES" MAXREPEAT="1" NAME="_global" TYPE="TEXT"></FIELD>
  </METADATA>
  <RESULTSET FOUND="1">
    <ROW MODID="13" RECORDID="24">

        <DATA>Sweet</DATA>
      </COL>
      <COL>
        <DATA>667</DATA>
      </COL>
      <COL>

      <COL>

      </COL>
      <COL>
        <DATA></DATA>
      </COL>
    </ROW>
  </RESULTSET>
</FMPXMLRESULT>

If I simply put the parameters after the "?" in the payload file it works, however INSERTing the actual FMPXMLRESULT would be desirable.

curl -X POST -kL --data @/tmp/GETlike.txt "user:[email protected]/fmi/xml/FMPXMLRESULT.xml"

Where /tmp/Getlike.txt contains

-dbnames

as pr example returns expected list of database names.
