It works in every browser except IE9
The function returns something like this:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 06 Dec 2011 21:36:41 GMT Server: Apache
Pragma: no-cache Content-Length: 1481 X-Powered-By: Servlet/2.5
JSP/2.1 Vary: User-Agent Content-Type: application/xml
it goes on to show all the responses
from ups in xml

function ups($dest_zip,$service,$weight,$length,$width,$height) {

Double check that the output of headers hasn't been enabled
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HEADER,1);
Comment out that line or set it to false.
