I don't think it is worth doing. The function may very well produce binary
results, so any user that assumes a zero byte as the end of data is doing bad
assumptions.

The code that currently use this function use the returned length.

(As we currently don't export this function to the world.)

I think we should add documentation for this, and not attempt to fix this
within libcurl. I'll happily apply any patches to the docs that clarifies
this issue.
