Can't provide any help except to report a similar and possibly related
problem! I've noticed that when I tell libcurl to do a POST but don't
supply a body, it silently converts to a GET. Kind of an annoyance
though I can work around it ok. I'd love to know if this is a bug or a
requirement of RFC2616 though.

(You might wonder why someone would POST without a body ... in my case,
there usually is a body but I also pass a few parameters, and once in a
while the parameters are needed but there's no file to upload.)
