Re: Problem downloading via curl

Hi!

The problem has been solved. It turned out that the intrusion detection system on
some machine in our network blocked every HTTP traffic that had the user agent set
to 'curl/<something>'.

If someone runs into the same problem, here is the message from the intrusion
detection system:

Datum: 07/26 12:54:40 Name: ET POLICY curl User-Agent Outbound
Priorität: 2 Typ: Attempted Information Leak

As a workaround one could change curl's user agent in ~/.curlrc by setting
some different user agent:

user-agent = "lionking/0.0"
