It is not OK since it changes behavior for existing application in a very
drastic way.

In general libcurl doesn't seek for anything where there's no need for it to
seek, it only seeks when it has done something within the request that has
moved the file position forward and it needs to put it back.

In your case, libcurl has not moved the file position to start with.

I would much rather have us make this clearer in the documentation somehow!
