HTTPS POST via proxy - no data is sent to remote server

Hello,

I am trying to upload a file with "HTTPS POST" using the curl command line
tool.
Doing this without a proxy it works fine, but when using a proxy the result
is
not as expected.

I am using curl/7.19.2 with OpenSSL/0.9.8g.

Command line:

curl.exe --data-binary @data.txt --proxy-ntlm -x hbgdisa02.*****.com:80 -U :
 -H "Content-Type: application/x-CIDX"
https://+++++.+++++.de/*****/upload.asp
 --trace-ascii send.log

See the following log for details:

Unfortunately no data is sent to the remote server. I assume this is due to
line "00c4: Content-Length: 0".

So my question is: Why is content-length equal to 0?
- Is this a bug within curl?
- Is this a problem with the proxy?

The log file containing the successful file upload (without using the proxy)
incorporates in addition a send command ("=> Send data") after the POST.
In addition the content length is not equal to 0 but contains the length of
the XML message.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,
Axel Kuhn
