So, what's wrong with this request? I can only see one tiny glitch and that
is that the post data is not 19 bytes but 17. Still this looks like a pretty
nice HTTP compliant post.

What version of libcurl is this? The "HTTP/1.0" part makes it look rather
old...

"Connection: close" ? Did you enforce this header?

Is that supposed to mean anything? I didn't get anything out of it anyway.

So how does that request look like? What kind of restrictions does your web
server set on the post request?
