It could be that you are not sending the HTTP/1.0 request line properly. Try
appending " HTTP/1.0" to the first line (and also make sure you're sending CRLF
pairs to terminate lines) like so:
POST /cgi-bin/testprogram HTTP/1.0
Content-type: text/plain
Content-length: 256
(file gets put here)
I think the server is probably not realizing you're doing HTTP/1.0, and assumes
you're trying a 0.9 request since it is malformed. If you plan on getting any
data back, you might also want to send some Accept: lines.
