I am using curl to get a very large document, ~2.5MB, from a web
service. curl always exits with the message: "curl: (56) Failure when
receiving data from the peer" before the complete document has been
obtained.

The total and received columns usually contain 1046k when this happens
but it has happened at least once when the columns contained 694k.

A web search based on the error message did not tell me much. Does
anyone know what is going on in this situation?
