If I understand the question correctly he wants binary mode but found that
he had to set CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT to "false" despite the documentation
saying that binary mode was the default.

So it does not seem to have anything to do with bug 21. Of course I could
have misunderstood the question because it was not explicit and I think
open to misinterpretation.
