I haven't dug on the code but I think this discussion may be helpful How to post data in PHP using file_get_contents?

[denisvmedia]

If we check the code:

public function post($url, $headers = array(), $content = '')
{
    return $this->call($url, RequestInterface::METHOD_POST, $headers, $content);
}

/**
 * Sends a request.
 *
 * @param string $url     The URL to call
 * @param string $method  The request method to use
 * @param array  $headers An array of request headers
 * @param string $content The request content
 *
 * @return MessageInterface The response object
 */
public function call($url, $method, $headers = array(), $content = '')
{
    // ...
}

We'll see that Browser::post() expects string and not array. Can this be the cause of the problem?

P.S. It seems that also only Curl client supports getFields() in the request object. And thus Browser::submit() will fail as well with any bundled client except Curl.

Posting an array of data is not possible with the file_get_contents adapter because the stream context does not support it only curl does. To fix it, you need to convert it to an url encoded format with the http_build_query method.

@kriswallsmith What about converting it when it is passed to stream_context_create in case it is an array? It should fix the issue mentionned by @denisvmedia about the Browser::submit method.
