Dear Gary,

I using curl 7.15.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.15.1 OpenSSL/0.9.8g
zlib/1.2.3
Protocols: tftp ftp gopher telnet dict ldap http file https ftps
Features: IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz

no HTTPS connections, and I am currently building a test to check if the
error would occur if downloading the same site ever...

Thanks a lot
