I can't reproduce this. I went as far back as 7.39.0 and tried a number
of ssl backends including openssl, winssl, wolfssl and mbedtls. If you
can still reproduce this please give your curl -V and the verbose output
from the command so we can see where it hangs. Also, your use of the
Accept-Encoding header will, if the response is compressed, prevent curl
from automatically decompressing the response using the supported
decompression methods. I suggest use --compressed [1] instead.
