Well, from the log messages that is not what I observe. The error message
appears to be originating from the server (and reported by libcurl) due the
the connection being closed rather than libcurl complaining about too many
bytes received. Maybe both things are happening?

Okay, a couple questions since I definitely need this functionality:
1) Long term, is this a feature that could eventually be added to libcurl?
2) Short term, do you have a gut feeling for how difficult it would be to
add this functionality? This is something I may have to do for our system,
but I have not yet looked at source code.
