hello,
i have the same problem...
i used a local proxy to sniff the headers:
POST /index.php HTTP/1.0
Host: netload.in
Content-Length: 64
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Connection: keep-alive
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT
Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0,
pre-check=0
Pragma: no-cache
Location: index.php?id=15
Content-type: text/html
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:50:41 GMT
Server: lighttpd/1.5.0
POST /index.php HTTP/1.0
Host: netload.in
Connection: keep-alive
HTTP/1.1 411 Length Required
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 357
Connection: close
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:50:45 GMT
Server: lighttpd/1.5.0
In my humble opinion the 2nd request should be a GET request...

I also encountered this bug
Os: Windows XP SP2
PHP: 5.2.4-win32
The problem is the following.
I create a stream context with some (>2) form variables and issue a
POST request to a redirecting page on a remote webserver using fopen()
or file_get_contents()
Using packet sniffer i discovered, that remote webserver responds HTTP
1.1 302 found and sends location = someotherpage.php
Then, file_get_contents() follows redirect and sends another POST
request for the page someotherpage.php, but this request appears to be
trashed with some form variables from the very first request.
In best case, when there are 2 or may be 3 form variables, remote
server sends error 411 - "length required"
In worst, it sends Bad request.

I encountered a problem when passing about 20+ variables in the context
of form variables. The same problem occurs if using arrays in the
context of form variables. Only a certain number are passed, generally
those that appear first before the submit are passed, the exact number
seems to vary some what. I have created simple php scripts and tested
with the same results. I am not sure if the actual naming makes a
difference or not, the results seem to vary depending on how you try to
set up the test. I am very puzzled, with this behavior.
