I need to send large binary data over http post (so that urlencoding

when I do
<?php echo strlen($HTTP_POST_VARS['DATA']); ?>
it yields 1 (it truncates the string after the first zero byte). Is
The fact you're accessing it as an element of $HTTP_POST_VARS (which
should be $_POST anyway) means it's expected to be URL encoded.
Instead set your request Content-Type to octet-stream and grab the whole
post body at once.
eg.
// To send...
$c = stream_context_create(
array(
'http' => array(
'method' => 'post',
'header' => 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream',
'content' => "whatever you want \x00 here"
)
)
);
file_get_contents('http://example.com/foo.php', false, $c);
// To receive
$data = file_get_contents('php://input');
