I expect you're right. I already tried using netcat at Troy Farrell's suggestion, and you can get it to show the headers, but I didn't get the required enlightenment yet. Worth trying on your problem, though. There's a version for Windows somewhere.
like this (on 'nix - probably the same on NT):
$ nc -v -l -p 9999
(listens on port 9999)
then just send your POST at port 9999 of your local machine.
Once a colleague asked me how to peep what headers a browser sends to a server. I suggested to write a minimal server that would store a request to a file. The results in pure Python:
