PHP POST Data to HTTPS Fail with 404 error! Even with (CURL, fopen and file_get_contents)

Question

All my efforts failed! I can't POST data to HTTPS Even by using CURL, fopen and file_get_contents!
I always getting a 404 error!
However, when I leech the page using GET method it open with no errors!
But when I using POST method for that page with its same URL it always fail with a 404 error!

My PHP code :

<?php

    function curl_fopen_getContents( $functionName='curl', $method='GET' ) 
    {
        $post_data = http_build_query(array( 'a'   => '1' ));
        $cookies   = 'a=1';

        $opts = array('http' => array(
            'method'     => strtoupper($method),

                            "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n"
                           ."Content-Length: " . strlen($post_data)."\r\n"
                           ."Cookie: $cookies\r\n",

        $https_url = 'my_url_here';
        
        if( $functionName=='fopen' )
        {
            $result = fopen($https_url, 'r', false, $context); @fpassthru($result); @fclose($result);
        }
        elseif( $functionName=='file_get_contents' )
        {
            $result = file_get_contents($https_url, false, $context);
        }else{
            $result = curl_post($https_url, $method, $post_data, $cookies);
        }
        return $result;
    }
