You're trying to post to the browser which won't know how to handle  
it. The header() function is modifying the response headers that are  
being sent back to the browser, they do not create a new request.

If you want to do a new request I suggest looking at curl. If you  
actually want the browser to make the new request the only way is to  
return a hidden form and auto-submit it with JS. However, as someone  
else pointed out if that second request is coming back to the same  
server there probably isn't any need for a second request at all.
