If curl thinks the data connection should be made with SSL, then there should
be a SSL handshake performed right after RETR has been issused and the server
has responded with 150. Your snippet didn't show any such debug output, thus
it looked as if curl assumed the data connection to be plain.

curl thinks the data connection uses SSL if one of two conditions are true:

1. you connect to the site using ftps://

2. the 'PROT P' command curl uses when you use --ftp-ssl is successful (the
   servers sends a 200 response)

Of course there might be a bug somewhere that made things act differently.
