<p style="margin: 0px;">You're certainly going about this the hard way. Why not just use the IXR library already bundled with WordPress?</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"><?php</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-IXR.php');<br />
<br />
$rpc = new IXR_Client( "http://wpmu.localhost/xmlrpc.php" );<br />
$status = $rpc->query(<br />
"wp.getComments", // method name<br />
"2", // blog id<br />
"admin", // username<br />
"disney75", // password</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> array(<br />
"status" => "approve"<br />
)<br />
);<br />
<br />
if( !$status ) {<br />
print "Error ( " . $rpc->getErrorCode( ) . " ) : ";<br />
print $rpc->getErrorMessage( ) . "\n";<br />
exit;<br />
}<br />
<br />
$response= $rpc->getResponse( );<br />
print_r( $response );</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">?></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">This is a tested setup and should work regardless of any issue you might face instantiating a CURL request and setting your headers from scratch.<br />

For example, I use XML-RPC in all my plug-ins to report back installation progress and errors - each plug-in makes an XML-RPC call to a custom handler (method) on my server.<br />
