I'm attempting to use the curl-7.10.7 win32-nossl binary to download some self extracting zip files from a website. The command line is roughly:

curl -s -O -u username:password http://my.url.com/path/to/some.exe (with HTTP_PROXY set to enable access through the corporate firewall).

Using "unzip -t" to verify the file is complete reports several errors which are unable to be fixed using "zip -F". This seems similar to what may happen with binary files transferred in Ascii mode over FTP, but I'm not aware of any similar issues over HTTP. Incidentally, downloading this file manually using IE on WinNT 4 SP6 downloads the file correctly.

Any pointers to any settings that may be affecting this file transfer would be greatly appreciated,

Regards,

Matt.
