[OSM-dev] HTTP error 417 with cURL

Hi,

Funny, same issue came up on talk at the same time posted by someone 
else. You have to keep CURL from setting that evil header. Details were at

http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2005-11/0134.html

- but is there a workaround?

I had a quick glance at the CURL PHP binding and it seems that there's 
no equivalent for the command-line -H switch that lets you suppress a 
header. The relevant man page seems to be

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php

If you're lucky, you can use CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, set the problematic 
header to an empty string, and maybe it works. Otherwise you'll have to 
use CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION and write ashort handler method that passes 
through all headers except the one you don't like.

Bye
Frederik
