Sounds a bit odd - to get more information about what's going on - try
these options:
 -i/--include : Includes the HTTP header information
 -v/--verbose : Includes information about infromation sent to the web
                server by curl (prefixes with a '>')

They'll help you diagnose exactly what you're getting from/sending to the
server.

It doesn't sound like you've got an HTTP redirect happening there, you may
want to try using the -L/--location which will cause cURL to follow HTTP
redirects.

(curl --manual is your friend... :)

Cheerio,
