UPS XML Online Tools (Help)

Anon

Does anyone know how to properly link with UPS using there online tools via XML? This is what I have:
//I have a valid xml string at this point!
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Rate");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xmlRequest);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'));
$result = curl_exec($curl);
echo curl_errno($curl);
echo curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
echo $result;

and everytime I do that I get this:
52Empty reply from server

Does anyone know how to fix this?

$xml = your xml request;

$upshead = array();
$cl = strlen($xml);
$cl = \"Content-length: $cl\";
array_push($upshead,$cl);

$ups = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ups, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ups, CURLOPT_URL, \"https://wwwcie.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Rate\"); / dev, not live /
curl_setopt($ups, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ups, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $upshead);
curl_setopt($ups, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, \"$xml\");

ob_start();
curl_exec ($ups);
$outxml = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

curl_close ($ups);

ob_start();
curl_exec ($ups);
$outxml = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Alternatively, you can do this:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$outxml = curl_exec($ch);
