curl -d "{\"docs\":[`cat productSample.json`]}" -X POST =
http://localhost:5984/bbyopen/_bulk_docs -H "Content-Type: =
application/json"

or

DOC=3D`cat productSample.json`
curl -d "{\"docs\":[$DOC]}" -X POST =
http://localhost:5984/bbyopen/_bulk_docs -H "Content-Type: =
application/json"

may work.
