yes, libcurl works just fine.

Yes, the server responds as it should with a 5xx failure reply.
Let's take for example SIZE cmd(not implemented by the server) ...
... it seems that curl-loader(this uses libcurl) decides the server behaves
inappropriate to a RETR request because of SIZE cmd reply 502 issued in
between :( .

I searched a bit curl mailing list and I found this link:
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2006-08/0032.html

Is is possible to disable SIZE cmd?
