The response looks badly formatted and it confused libcurl - it doesn't know
when the response ends. It is HTTP 1.1 (thus persistent by default) but has no
Content-Length, no chunked encoding, no conection: close and it seems the
connection isn't closed after the response.

The next libcurl version will skip reading that response body as it is a HTTP
violation.
