Sorry, but that doesn't work. 

Note that this is a different problem that the one described on that
page.

You just need to disable the Expect header cURL sends by default:

Description:
------------
Inserting array (key=>value) as CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS doesn't work
although documentation states:

 "This can either be passed as a urlencoded string like
'para1=val1&para2=val2&...' or as an array with the field name as key
and field data as value. "

Reproduce code:
---------------
$url="example.php";
$process = curl_init($url);
$data= array ('somefield'=>'somedata')
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_exec($process);
curl_close($process);

Expected result:
----------------
input field "somefield" with value "somedata" posted to example.php

Actual result:
--------------
Empty field/value
