How do you know the post returns with a 201, if it isn't getting past 
the h.post line?

Best way to find out what's going on is with tcpdump or wireshark.

It's possible that there's some HTTP/1.1 nastiness going on, e.g. one 
side thinks the connection should remain open whilst the other thinks it 
should be closed, possibly combined with a missing Content-Length: 
header from one side or the other.
