I think what you should do is just open a simple socket, read in the 
packet, and verify line-by-line that the data is as expected.

This is not exactly what you are asking for, but it is the simplest and 
also something I think you should do for the long term.  I.e., as a 
permanent test harness.

The FIRST thing I think you should do is just to implement the above, 
and then print out the packet you receive.  Compare it manually with 
what you expect, and with any examples you can find online of a POST 
packet.  That I think will help you understand the most what you ought 
to receive, and what you are receiving.

Again, no matter what else you plan to do, I can almost guarantee that 
if you are new to this, you'll end up implementing a little packet 
printer no matter what, so you might as well do it now.
