Eeek. This is a non-compliant response. The server is stupid. The response is
supposed to be:

  "213 77824"

No commas and no aditional "bytes". We could possibly let the curl parser just
ignore special characters in the middle of the number (the comma) but I'm not
at all convinced that is a very good idea in general.
