Hi Stephen,

Thanks! Seems "unnatural", but it works great!

Note to others who are reading this thread:

You still have to set CURL_NOBODY first before CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST.

Hi there,
I encountered this behaviour a while ago - not sure why, but it seems you're
correct in saying that CURLOPT_POST and _NOBODY don't go together well. The
solution that worked for me was very simple: just use curl_setopt($ch,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST") instead of setting CURLOPT_POST.

Dear cURL users,

Is it possible to combine POST with HEAD (sending a HTTP POST request and
expecting only headers in HTTP response)? I've tested with the options,
CURLOPT_NOBODY and CURLOPT_POST, switched around the order of setting them,
but they seem to be mutually exclusive.

If not, is there any alternative way where I can send a GET/POST request and
have cURL to not wait and simply ignore the entire response?
