I'll have a stab at it later this week.

OK. I think I was led astray by
http://au2.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php
which seems to indicate that in php,
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data)
only does a multipart/form-data post if you use the '@file' feature. I
assumed that behaviour was built into curl, but it must be just a php-ism.

Cheers
