i.e. set the URL to "http://207.200.36.91/?alias=yes". That full URL
will show up because you are going through a proxy server, but the
actual web server should see: "POST /?alias=yes HTTP/1.1"

Again, set the CURLOPT_URL to
"http://xxx.xxx.com/41A140B5271DC8D22FF8D027176A0821" and it should
work, but the request will include the full URL instead of just "PUT
/... HTTP/1.1" because of the proxy, but the web server should see it
as you have it above.
