HTTP POST problem

Hi friends,

I am using PHP version 4.2 in RHEL4 system.

I am sending multipart binary data using libcurl from client
application and a php script at the server side recieves it. But
unfortunately the data received through $_POST variable is truncated at
the first instance of NULL character.
-> I cannot use base64 encoding as this is performance intensive and
client application is lightweight. We cannot afford this.
-> there seem to be no way access raw http data since client is
sending multipart data.

Is there any way I can be able to access http raw data or correct
binary data..?

Any help in this regards are ihighly appreciated.

Thanks.

You may want to try this HTTP client class that supports uploading
binary files.
