Hello,
I want to receive data via curl, which normally a flash app receives
from a server.

Headers when using the flash app:
[REQUEST HEADER]

1. Why is it a POST, if there is no data send by the client?
2. The Content-Length of the request header variies when I use the flash
app. Can I somehow set the Content-Length of curl and ask curl to fill
the content with blanks?
3. What exactly is application/x-amf?
4. Why does my CURLOPT_WRITEDATA-struct receive no data?

Thanks,
Michael
