php - got no $_POST values with multipart/form-data

Question

The question is easy. I am requesting:

POST /api/?user=auth HTTP/1.1 Content-Length: 437 Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=tYhL_Uv6shSE9A9DHwvtJvXb0NPSLNMsdg; charset=UTF-8 Host: 192.168.0.10:8888 Connection: Keep-Alive User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/UNAVAILABLE (java 1.4)

--tYhL_Uv6shSE9A9DHwvtJvXb0NPSLNMsdg Content-Disposition: form-data; name="token"

--tYhL_Uv6shSE9A9DHwvtJvXb0NPSLNMsdg Content-Disposition: form-data; name="api_terms"

no
--tYhL_Uv6shSE9A9DHwvtJvXb0NPSLNMsdg--

and receive $_POST === array() in PHP.

And

Checked the server for rewrite redirects that can lose data - found none. Please, help.

RESOLVED: I used apache library to send multipart request. It produced header:

Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=tYhL_Uv6shSE9A9DHwvtJvXb0NPSLNMsdg; charset=UTF-8

When I remove encoding settings, it changed to:

Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=tYhL_Uv6shSE9A9DHwvtJvXb0NPSLNMsdg

And now all works smooth.
