This is something obscure I noticed... If you try to use something like: <?php curl_setopt($agent, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($agent, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data); ?> so that you POST something to a URL. Then if you screwed up your URL slightly like: http://www.example.com rather than http://www.example.com/ (note the slash) hence, causing a redirect, then your posted data won't be sent once the redirect occurs. --was-- This is something obscure I noticed...
