Why is curl slow in reading a </html>less page?

Hello,

Did you ever come across this situation where the web server sends an
HTML page without <html> </html>, and curl just takes a long while
(25seconds) to finaly return?

Does curl realy wait for </html>?

When I use MSIE or opera or netscape, the page displays immidiatly.

Any idea how to avoid this waiting?

setting the read_timeout doesnt seem to be the way, since when I try
it the read seems to get canceled!

Thankx alot.

Mohamed~
