It's a FAQ: https://curl.se/docs/faq.html#My_HTTP_POST_or_PUT_requests_are

This seems unlikely to me to be a curl issue. It sounds more likely to be
something lower in the networking stack that's interfering. Try using Wireshark
to sniff the traffic to see if the short application data packets are getting
through, and if they are, if they're being acked.
