No, it's just coded in a way it doesn't react to the variables you pass
in the $_GET array, but only in the $_POST array.
There is a small work around, but it has nothing to do with PHP. At
least, not as you describe it.

Woah, hold your horses !
You don't need to use sockets to do this. If you want to retrieve data
with your PHP server, then a little bit of cURL and it will all be over.
On the other hand, from what you've explained, I understood that it's
just *you*, client side who wants to get to a page that needs a form to
post a bit of information.
Create an html file with this code in it:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function sendData ()
{
var form = document.getElementById ("theForm");
form.submit ();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="javascript:sendData ()">
<form id="theForm" method=POST
action="http://whateversite.com/rcon.php">
<input type="hidden" name="addr" value="ADDRESSVALUE" />
<input type="hidden" name="rcon" value="RCONVALUE" />
<input type="hidden" name="announceflag" value="1" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
(You will need to replace 3 values: the address of the server, and the
values of "addr" and "rcon")
When you load this page, it will automagically submit the form to the
server, and should get you where you want.
Of course, this only works if there are no cookies involved (in which
case you will have to identify against the server before executing this
page, within the same browser).
If I misread your post, please correct me.
HTH,
