The number "1" in there is the key. -v doesn't take any argument so the
left-over 1 is treated as a URL and that's what you see as IP address 0.0.0.1
in the verbose output.

Then -T needs to be specified once for each URL and since 1 is the first URL,
the only -T is "spent" on that and then the second URL (your "real" one) will
be without -T and thus curl will instead try to read from that.

I bet things go much better if you remove the 1...
