In situations like this I often find a network protocol analyzer like Wireshark very helpful. I would start a packet capture filtering on port 8755 and run both versions of the script (either in one capture session or two, probably two). Then, for both captured streams in Wireshark: Analyze -> Follow TCP Stream. That should present a nice view of the POST request sent by each script.
