cURL.php

This simple code work fine using libcurl versions before 7.18.x.

<?php
        $ch = curl_init("www.example.com/curl.php?option=test");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        $output = curl_exec($ch);       
        curl_close($ch);
        echo $output;
?>

If you have some trouble (Ex.: Failed to open/read local data from file/application) using a similar code with libcurl 7.18.x, try to add the option curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "").

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.
