As my crystal ball is broken, I cannot see what is wrong with either the
request you send, or with the PHP code that builds it. If you really want
to know what's wrong, post an example of the request that breaks (offcourse
strip out the actual file-data, and possibily security stuff), not the
request that's OK :-)
What I can advise you though, is perhaps to use curl instead of fsockopen
if you have it available. It saves a lot of handcoding requests.
