That error means that curl sent a HTTP request but got exactly nothing back.
In HTTP lingo, not returning anything is an error.

Is that FTP over SSL you're talking about, otherwise known as FTPS?

Sure it can be done. But if you want to speak FTPS using a HTTP proxy, you
need to "tunnel through" it and that means your proxy must allow CONNECT to
the remote port number (usually port 21) which most proxies don't.

If you don't tunnel through it, your proxy must support FTPS URLs, which I'm
not aware of anypproxy that does.
