My version of cURL is curl 7.9.5 (i586-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl 7.9.5 (OpenSSL
0.9.6c) (ipv6 enabled).

> Hi,
> I have a PHP script (detailed below), which takes very long to
> POST to the server. For each request, it takes at least 5 seconds to
> process the cURL request, then almost 7 seconds to receive a
> response. Any clue on why this is happening? I have posted a copy of
> the log of the request below, along with the code.
