php curl json post being truncated when sent

I am attempting to send a json string in a curl post. My vendor is telling me the request is being truncated. I am at a loss.

my code:

$url = "https://someServer/json.pl/vendor_account_numbers/list";
    $key = "XXX";
    $secret = "XXX";
    $hash = hash_hmac('SHA1',$url,$secret,$raw_output = false);

$array = array(
    "json" => array(
        "criteria" => array(
            "vendor_id" => array(
                "operator" => "=","data" => "2"
            )
        )
    )
);

    $post = json_encode($array);

$ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
            'HMAC:'.$hash,
            'KEY:'.$key,
            'Content-Type: application/json charset=utf-8',
            'Content-Length: '.strlen($post),
        ));
        echo strlen($post);
        curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"json=".$post);
        curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);

    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    print_r(curl_getinfo($ch));
    print_r($result);
    $res = json_decode($result);
    exit();

The vendor says they are seeing:

json:{"criteria":{"vendor_id":{"operator":"=","data":"

I was getting the strlen of the post, but in my curl i was adding "json=", thus making the content-length incorrect.

    $post = json_encode($array);
    $length = strlen($post)+5;

I did 5 because of the json bit in my postfields:

curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"json=".$post);

Try changing this:

'Content-Type: application/json charset=utf-8',

to this:

'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8',

Note the semi-colon after the mime type.

If the system doesn't have a content-length requirement (many browsers and some web services do), then set that to zero.
