Hi

Operating system XP Pro
Curl Version 7.11.0
Error returned from google

Length Required
POST requests require a Content-length header.

Code used
$var = 'php' ;
$trimmed = trim($var); //trim whitespace from the stored variable
$ch = curl_init();
$user_agent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET
CLR 1.1.4322)";
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $user_agent);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.google.com/search?q="
  . $trimmed . "\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Look up
  " . $trimmed . " on Google\">Click here");
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); // return into a variable
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 3); // times out after 4s
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); // set POST method
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,0);
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0);

 $result = curl_exec ($ch);
 curl_close ($ch);
 echo $result;

Please try to be a lot more specific when reporting errors.

* curl version?
* operating system?
* what *exactly* does the site report? (preferably including all
headers)
* what headers does curl's request include?
* how can we repeat the problem?
