The document is for peer servers in which case you do send server_name
instead of domain.

Yep.

I sure hope your request starts with the following.  POST should be
the beginning of it.  Then I think you need an extra newline
after the Content-Length header.  Make sure that the Auth line is all
one
line.  Try not sending the X-??? headers, unless you can move them to
before the Content-??? headers.

This was sent by Apache, not phpGroupWare.  There is something
basically wrong with the structure of your post.  Try running
telnet to port 80 of a phpgroupware-enabled apache server and
post the same data as in your request above...
