Two things:

 1 - Are you sure CURLOPT_HTTPPOST is the option you want? CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS
     is a lot more commonly used... I'm afraid the java code you presented
     doesn't give me more to go on either (as far as guessing which POST
     method it is that you really want).

 2 - curl_formadd() has some rather unpleasent bugs in libcurl 7.9. If you
     want this functionality, I offer these three alternatives:
     a) wait until the 7.9.1 public release
     b) get a 7.9.1 pre-release
     c) use curl_formparse() until a) is avaiable
