Your requeset ask for some specific encodings and the server instead sends you
this made up content-encoding. libcurl doesn't know about any "binary"
encoding and bails out. This is a bad server.

A work-around for this particular site would be to disable content-encoding so
that libcurl won't try to decode it, but I realize it is hard to automate
based on such a vague error code as CURLE_WRITE_ERROR.

Any suggestions on what and how libcurl could do better here?
