Has anybody got the 'dict' protocol working on Windows using latest
CVS-version of curl?

curl -v --trace-ascii - dict://dict.org/d:fatwa
== Info: Couldn't find host dict.org in the .netrc file, using defaults
== Info: About to connect() to dict.org port 2628
== Info: Connecting to dict.org (66.111.36.30) port 2628
=> Send data, 46 bytes (0x2e)
0000: CLIENT libcurl 7.11.0-CVS.DEFINE ! fatwa.QUIT.
== Info: Closing connection #0

-------

curl closes the connection before the answer is received !?
Doesn't seem right, but I fail to see why.

Using telnet or netcat is no problem:

> echo DEFINE ! fatwa | nc -w2 dict.org 2628
