Some modifications in PHP code made everything happy again.

1. Removed the Expect: 100-continue HTTP header from requests sent by  
curl, by adding empty Expect: header
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect: '));

2. Made sure CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS is an url-encoded query string instead  
of being a plain PHP array:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($myarray));
