Well, they probably don't send the exact same requests. For example I belive
the PHP/CURL interface doesn't set the user-agent field.

Let me also point out that there's a separate mailing list for PHP/CURL,
called curl-and-php.

You need to figure out the differences and make the non-working request more
similar to the working one. I believe the --trace and CURLOPT_VERBOSE options
will help you with that.

curl can send POSTs read from a file or stdin, so this should be possible
anyway.
