omg... you're right :) i remember i tried postfields and it didn't work. now
it does :) but the '&' problem is still unresolved. i guess this gotta be
the receiver's fault.

hm, i put whole http requests in customrequest, all headers, cookies and
such + post content, and it worked.
now i'm using postfields and it works okay too :)

noo.. the data is okay for sure, the only problem is with '&'.
i'll have to search for solution somewhere else, cause it appears not to be
the curl's fault.

thanks a lot for your help! :)
