since you get a 403, you're right the data is going both ways so the
firewall doesnt seem to be a factor.
But remember I guess you were using a browser before, now you are
using php, that makes things completely different, I'm not sure what
you mean when you say that "the only difference to what i did before
is, im passing a formatted xml and this time the request is done thru
query string" - have you tried doing this in a browser, are you sure
it is acceptable, 403 means forbidden after all.
My guess would be that you are required to do things that a browser
does, change the user agent, and start accepting cookies, so that cURL
looks more like a browser, and finally send and receive the data just
as the browser does. You aren't far off, but remember that most web
services (free ones) wouldn't like to be thrashed by a program and may
well have retrictions - if it has a howto follow compltetly to the
letter, but you should be alright with just mimicking what works, cURL
can do it just required a few more options and tweaks.
