Ok, that explains why it fails at first. You need PORT then, using -P.

It just struck me that perhaps curl picks the wrong IP for the PORT command?
Do you have multiple network interfaces on this host? I fixed the "pick a
suitable default IP for PORT" in 7.10, and before that it used the system's
"default IP" which might not at all be the correct one.

You can try by using "-P ethX" or similar to tell curl to use the address
from one of your interfaces, or even "-P 123.45.56.78" to tell curl exacty
which address you want the remote server to contact you back with.
