But there is data sent--61 bytes in the case of the flash app and 64 bytes
in the case of your app.

Yes, but that's almost guaranteed to be wrong. The remote server is likely
expecting very specific data, and your app should send that same data.
I don't know how you got your flash app logs, but you'll need to expand them
to show the actual data sent, too.

If you don't know, then what are you going to do with the data once you get
it?

CURLOPT_WRITEDATA is used to set a fixed value that is passed in to your
write callback function. When your write callback is called, the
CURLOPT_WRITEDATA value is passed in.
