I am getting the following error in my application:

When using curl from the command line, I do the exact same thing but I get
the following:

$ curl -v -d url
"http://finance.google.com/finance/historical?q=NASDAQ:AAPL&output=csv"

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Date and the rest of the correct response

Regardless of whether I change the url or my settings, I always get "Error:
[52] - Empty reply from server", what gives?

Thanks,
