Package: curl
Version: 7.13.2-2
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream

Hello,

curl corrupts the data returned from http://ftp.task.gda.pl . I looked at the
package contents with "tcpdump -s0 -x -i eth1 'port http'" and it seems to be
the same that wget returns. However, what curl finally writs to the stdout or a
file is unreadable crap (completely different, diff runs amok).

/usr/bin/curl --stderr /dev/null 
http://ftp.task.gda.pl/debian/dists/sarge/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz | zcat

zcat: stdin: not in gzip format

This is especially nasty because I have ported apt-cacher to curl only,
completely replacing wget.

Regards,
Eduard.
