The problem is that you are misleading PHP telling that you are posting
form data. You need to correct the request Content-Type. It must not be
application/x-www-form-urlencoded nor multipart/form-data . I think you
can use anything except those types, like for instance
application/octet-stream which is the default for binary files.

I don't know how can you hack libcurl to make it use the right request
content-type. It is probably easy. If you are not able to do it, you may
want to try this PHP HTTP client class . It can send custom POST requests.
