That seems very odd and unusual. The server on localhost port 8990 is the test
server and that has proven to work for a large amount of people on a wide
variety of platforms. Using curl against a local port on local host has
equally been working fine for a long time.

I would say this indicates that something in your system is a bit unusual or
out of the ordinary and that causes this failure. But without more detailed
tracing and logging, it is hard to tell exactly what.
