I've not tried with the command line tool, but I have found an alternative.
If I target my own website, I get the 52 message back straight away all the
time which implies two things:

1) The server guy is indeed not behaving properly. Maybe he has a
ludicrous timeout period or something.

2) I'm also doing something wrong because I'm somehow not managing to
send any data. I find this a bit distressing atm as the sample code for http
post has only about 3 real lines in it and I can't make mine happen at all.
lol
