I was scraping an authentication header from an earlier reply, and
putting it verbatim (i.e. with the "\r\n"). That was pushing the
Content-Length header into the body, because adding a header in
curl adds its own \r\n. This didn't affect any other calls as
curl wasn't adding any later headers (and/or it doesn't matter on
a GET).

IE a problem with my code, not curl's.
