Thanks, that's helpful. I see your client is passing up 'Content-Length: -1', which is incorrect. Mine is not doing that, so it may depend on what version of curl/PHP you're using.

This is the debug result. I've got error 400 [Bad request].
I've tried to run the same source on localhost environment and it works fine.
