Thanks for your response. I think the problem is actually to do with STDIN having already been gobbled up by PHP when it parsed the input, and therefore there is no more data available -- maybe it _is_ available when the Content-type is missing (by stuffing the data back on the queue) or something. Hm. I'll take a peek and let you know, although I have since found another solution: In the end I found another way around it by sucking-in the data using a tiny Perl script, parsing out the field I wanted and then issuing an HTTP request from the Perl script to launch a PHP script with a regular QUERY_STRING.
