Your previous examples have all used the GET method. To use POST, you have 
to call a different API (one of the ones of the http_url_post_xxx family). 
You'll also have to send the data a little bit differently.

Am I allowed to use this debug site to see what's happening?  Or, can you 
tell me how to reproduce the problem?

As you've discovered, when I try it with my own server, it works.

Yes, unless the vendor absolutely requires GET, I'd always use POST. It's 
just a better way to do it.

The question is, what's not working?  Please tell me how to reproduce the 
problem if possible.
