It happens when you provide the wrong length. If you compare with that is sent 
when you let libcurl do its business on its own, you'll find out that the sent 
header is different.

Setting Content-Length yourself in a PHP program using PHP/CURL is almost 
never the right way. Independently of libcurl version.
