Trying to get ADFS Saml assertion token using curl

Question

After reading this post http://leandrob.com/2012/02/request-a-token-from-adfs-using-ws-trust-from-ios-objective-c-iphone-ipad-android-java-node-js-or-any-platform-or-language/

I tried to request a SAML token using curl.

Here is what I'm passing using curl:

curl https://server.com/adfs/services/trust/13/usernamemixed --data @request.txt -H "Content-Type:application/soap+xml"  --verbose -o "output.txt"

Here is my request.txt file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

        </trust:RequestSecurityToken>
    </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

The response I'm getting is MSIS3127: The specified request failed.

Any ideas of things I can check? Thanks!

After looking at the event logs, I found the issue was that it was picking up a space or newline after docs.oasis-open.org/ws-sx/ws-trust/200512/RST/Issue. Probably as a result of copying the xml from a website!
