$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is empty. www.faqts.com seems to have the answer to
why:

Unfortunately I have no control of the Content-Type. Internet Explorer
sets it to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". That's the same as an
HTML Form Post (which of course it isn't). User-Agent is set to
"PostFavorites".
