Humour me and try doing:

    echo "$ID" | od -c

and see if there's a carriage return following the number. You output
*should* have looked like this:

     curl -v http://localhost/hobbit
     * About to connect() to localhost port 80
     * Trying 127.0.0.1... connected
     * Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 80
> GET /hobbit HTTP/1.1

with the "HTTP/1.1" on the end of the line, instead of at the start.
This suggests a carriage return in the $ID string...
