These messages are just informationals and don't signify anything particular
for your case I'd say. The first line means that the connection was kept alive
after the transfer and the second that it closed it (since there was no
subsequent transfer using it).

I'm puzzled too, since it should return an error code and display an error
message if it didn't download as many bytes as the Content-Length: header
implies.

And what is the full curl command line you use for this? Does curl on your
native host show the same problem? Does the problem always appear for that
same URL?
