Description:
------------
When using the curl class or the HTTP Request class (Pear) that sends a POST request, some instances return the wrong mime type in the header data. Using linux commands POST and wget return correct mime type in header for the same request.

curl via Mac OS X command line:

deirdra-hendrickss-macbook-pro:~ dhendric$ curl --url "http://s7d4.scene7.com/is/image/sample" -d "fmt=png&req=catalogprops,text" -i
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1

ETag: "6d16a6640f1e7e88731e9688556b6596"
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 466
Expires: Thu, 25 Sep 2008 23:05:43 GMT
Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2008 23:05:43 GMT
Connection: keep-alive


Reproduce code:
---------------
$URL = "http://s7d4.scene7.com/is/image/sample?fmt=png&req=catalogprops,text";
        $c = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
		curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POST, true);
        curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, $URL);
        curl_exec($c);
		echo curl_getinfo($c, CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE);
        curl_close($c);

Expected result:
----------------
should echo "text/plain"

Actual result:
--------------
echos "image/jpeg"

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

According to strace, the server returns Content-Type: image/jpeg as you 
can see from the trace below. cURL simply returns the data it received 
from the server.
