After googling for while, i found that the error is not on my code but the server(lighttpd) bug. Based on Daniel Stenberg(http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2005-11/0127.html) we have to remove header (Expect: 100-continue) using command -H "Expect: ". Yeah but it's for curl executable, how to doit on PHP/CURL?. If set up curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $foo) PHP curl always sent Expect Header. I've searching everywhere but i couldn't find useful help. Any body knows what PHP/CURL command to remove certain header that we specified?
Thanks
