You need the latter, the first version is major wrong.

A stupidly defined vendor format too...

Then you really need to handicraft your own.

I think it is possible. In fact I can't see why it wouldn't be possible.

Your problem is that you don't quite understand what you're doing and then
you're asking us when your server responds with errors instead of checking the
server logs or asking the guys with the server what those particular errors
mean. It is the server that's annoying here.

I would seriously advice you to just ask or hire someone who understands a
little bit about HTTP or has some curl experience to help you out. This really
isn't rocket science.
