I am trying to send POST request to a web server using curl_easy_send().
Can I stop you there already? If you intend to do "plain" HTTP, then you really should not use curl_easy_send() as libcurl itself supports HTTP much better using the proper curl_easy_perform() API and it will solve lots of things you have to re-implement yourself otherwise.
However, I see the "404 error" on the server side. My request is reaching the server but server is not able to understand the request.
That's not what 404 means. 404 means the request identified a resource that doesn't exist. The request can still be perfectly understandable.
The code works fine when I just call curl_easy_perform() (without CONNECT_ONLY option) I am not able to understand why my requests are successful on curl_easy_perform() but not on curl_easy_send().
Since you didn't show the full code we can't tell. A quick guess would be that they post to different URLs.
