You should upload files using "multipart/form-data", e.g.:

curl -i \
   -H 'Referer: http://192.168.2.90:8888/upload.html' \
   -H 'User-Agent: Fiddler' \
   -H 'Cookie: SID=9P++HOw8D22KgZRqrl+5qrFL8eGR4++W' \
   -F 'torrents=@a.torrent' -F 'root_folder=true' \
   http://192.168.2.90:8888/command/upload
