libcurl defaults to binary mode for downloading FTP files so that sounds
doubly wrong. And if you want ASCII instead, CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT can be set
to make that happen.

So you don't need to use any quote method for this functionality. In fact, you
may confuse libcurl if you set TYPE with the quote methods since it may then
get the transfered file sizes wrong (unaligned).

Test 1405 tests all 3 different "quote" options that this test keeps working
for me.

Can you give us a full example source code showing this happening?
