This is already done by libcurl itself.

I strongly advice to not set this, as you confuse libcurl greatly if you
set the wrong size. libcurl (or possibly the binding layer) will set
this header by itself to the actual length of the data you pass in
anyway.

This seems very strict.

Pointless.

For further analysis, please state your libcurl version, your operating
system and how us what response headers you get from this request
(CURLOPT_VERBOSE might help you).

Thanks for all the advice.  Length header was indeed the answer and it's
now working a treat.  Muchos gracias, senores.
