Thanks for all your help. To close this thread, the command line which
worked for me through a Microsoft ISA server was:

c:\curl\curl -H "Content-type: text/xml" -d @c:\curl\testfile.xml -U
name:password -x proxy:port --proxy-ntlm
https://secure.dev.gateway.gov.uk/submission -k > c:\curl\response10.txt

Well, you could single-step into the openssl lib using a debugger to
figure
out why it happens...

I just now committed a fix that will make this problem less serious in
the
upcoming version, as then it won't fail to connect with this problem
occurs.
