Looks like php 4.4.9 is still broken. I know its not supported anymore,
but people are going to be using it for quite some time so I'd think it
might be prudent to fix it....given that its so simple.

You can also simply "patch" php source by fixing line 789 in
ext/curl/interface.c :

# before
int             length = -1;
# after
int             length = 0;

Yes, if you set POSTFIELDS to "", then curl_read does not return -1.
The root of the problem is that the default return value is -1, when it
should be 0 as it returns a size_t which is an unsigned type.

A check was added in libcurl 7.18 where the value is cast to size_t and
compared. This is the ``effect'' of the problem, but the cause is that
the php supplied curl_read callback is returning -1.

I have a similar code using cURL that worked fine in two platforms, but
failed on other two.

Platforms working:
- Debian 4.0 / PHP 5.2.0 / Apache 2.2.8 / libcurl 7.15.5
- Windows XP / PHP 4.4.7 / Apache 1.3.39 / libcurl 7.16.0

Platforms not working:
- Linux / PHP 4.4.7 / Apache 1.3.41 / libcurl 7.18.1
- Linux / PHP 5.2.5 / Apache 1.3.41 / libcurl 7.18.1

As you can see, the libcurl 7.18.x may really have a
bug/error/problem.
I think there was a change in the option CURLOPT_POST. Now, to use this
option, it seems to be necessary to set the option CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS
(curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "");).

Here are the details of the problem which occurs inside libcurl:
