This is not a "header" in curl speak, this is the request line and you cannot
append this as a header without causing libcurl to send an invalid request. I
realize the docs could be a bit clearer on this.

Read the docs, examples and tutorial and look for CURLOPT_POST,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, CURLOPT_HTTPVERSION, CURLOPT_URL and possibly
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST for options that control this first request line.

Are you sure you must force it to use HTTP 1.0?

You'd only need to set the Host: header if the host and port is any different
than the one used in the URL.

This header too is set by libcurl automaticly if you just provide the correct
info with CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS or CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE.

You didn't set any URL. That is the *only* required option you must set.

Right, it was completly missing!
