Connection aborted when posting with curl - php

Question

I have this situation:
I want to make a PUT request using curl to a form but it keeps retrieving this error: "send failure: connection aborted". Here is the function I use:
function PutCurl($url,$parametros_post){
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HEADER,false);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR,'cookies.txt');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE,'cookies.txt');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_PUT,true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Length: '.strlen($parametros_post)));
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$parametros_post);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$rerror = curl_error($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if ($rerror != ""){
echo '<h3>'.$rerror.'</h3>';
return false;
}
else
return $result;
}
I get this error:
While trying to process the request:
PUT /textos-del-anuncio/ HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)
Host: www.somesite.com
Pragma: no-cache
Accept: /
Cookie: PHPSESSID=gkmb7ksi1o82d91rino35ihma3

Connection: Close
X-Forwarded-For: Ip
Via: 1.0 Proxy+ (v4.00 http://www.proxyplus.cz)
Proxy-Authorization: Basic a2F2OjNHd3BiK3J3QiE=
The following error was encountered:
* Invalid Request
Some aspect of the HTTP Request is invalid. Possible problems:
* Missing or unknown request method
* Missing URL
* Missing HTTP Identifier (HTTP/1.0)
* Request is too large
* Content-Length missing for POST or PUT requests
* Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed
Then I tried to set Content-Length in the header adding this line to my function:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Length: '.strlen($parametros_post)));
but then I get a "Send failure: Connection was aborted" error.
Please, someone who can help me. Thanks.

Something being wrong with the request, have you tried doing it like this:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));
So you do not use curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_PUT,true); but CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST instead.
I assume your $parametros_post is an associative array like $parametros_post = array('post_field_name' => 'post_field_value');
