Thanks for the advice. I upgraded to the recently released 7..26.0. BUt,
I'm getting the same result

curl_command = curl --verbose --insecure -o /tmp/tmp.PPKOU32382 -c

curl is including my header, but is also including the standard

Any suggestions ? Any additional info I can provide, or options to try ?

Thanks!
