cURL-Version: 7.18.2
PHP Version: 5.3.17 (Suhosin Patch 0.9.10)

I'm getting a weird timeout when trying to use cURL to post to a server. The http_code of curl_getinfo() is 0.
"Operation timed out after 5000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received"

It does not depend on whether using HTTP or HTTPS.
The weird thing is: when omitting the content-length header, it works fine!
On another server with PHP 5.3.3-7 and cURL 7.21.0, everything works fine.

I attach these two files. Maybe anybody can confirm this issue?
Or does anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance. Phil
