内容长度PHP头。 正确的计算方法

我需要发一份XML文件以base64编码和其他数据在一个变量中$content。 我不确定内容长度计算以正确的方式引起我的网络服务告诉我有一个错误(无效的参数输入)。 我确定文件是正确的。 所以我唯一的疑问是长度计算?

这是我的脚本:

$base64 = base64_encode(file_get_contents("file.xml"));

$post = "/services/invoice/upload";

$content = array(
    "dataFile" => $base64,
    "credential" => "",
    "domain" => ""
);

try {

    $ch = curl_init();

    $header = array(
        "Content-type: application/json;charset=UTF-8",
        "Accept: application/json",
        "Authorization: Bearer nfsedkvcsjocnso", //token
        "Content-Length:" . strlen(json_encode($content)), //
        "Host: localhost:8080"
      );

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://xxxxxxx.com" . $post);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($content));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

    // receive server response



    $server_output = curl_exec($ch);

    if ($server_output === false) {
        throw new Exception(curl_error($ch), curl_errno($ch));
    }

    var_dump($server_output);

    curl_close($ch);

} catch(Exception $e) {

    trigger_error(sprintf('Curl failed with error #%d: %s',$e->getCode(), $e->getMessage()), E_USER_ERROR);

}

这是由WS规范(示例):

POST /services/invoice/upload HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Bearer NLOGDVXLVaF3tzmnVPkTwpkuh7dG0i09uSCcog3u+rE=
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 90
Host: localhost:8080

{
  "dataFile" : "dGVzdA==",
  "credential" : "cred_firma", //can be empty
  "domain" : "dom_firma" //can be empty
}
