My script looks almost exactly the same (but works ;). A couple of
suggestions:

Timeout seems a bit short - but OK for testing locally. The 'tcp://' was new
to me - according to the manual it's valid. Might be worth trying without.

** maybe add : "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";

literal paste from my script:
$p.="Content-length: $len\n\n";
$p.= "$str\n";
$p.= "\r\n";
It was kind of a long tiime ago I wrote it, and can't recall why the first
two lines didn't get a '\r'.
