This is certainly the wrong content-type.  You want a multipart content
type since uploads generally can't work url encoded.

You probably want to change that password now...

I don't know enough about the PHP curl interface to tell if the POST is
getting constructed correctly by this code.  Since it doesn't work,
however, I suspect it's subtly wrong.

The POST data needs to be a multipart MIME entity.

Look at the other language examples of POSTing attachment_1 on the wiki
page I linked to.  For debugging, capture the request that's actually
sent by your code over the network.  For figuring out what the POST is
supposed to look like, capture what /opt/rt4/bin/rt sends when you
submit a comment with an attachment.
