it seems HTTP servers send the *uncompressed* length in that header and
libcurl thinks of it as the *compressed* length. Some explanations are here:
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2003-06/0146.html
2. If a HTTP server responds to a HEAD request and includes a body (thus
violating the RFC2616), curl won't wait to read the response but just stop
reading and return back. If a second request (let's assume a GET) is then
immediately made to the same server again, the connection will be re-used
fine of course, and the second request will be sent off but when the
response is to get read, the previous response-body is what curl will read
and havoc is what happens.
More details on this is found in this libcurl mailing list thread:
