Is that response a direct quote of an actual error message from curl? I
searched the sources and I can't find any such error string. What return code
did you get from the curl command?

Sorry, but the http code is not an error code in curl's sense. It is the code
the HTTP returned, but it also returned contents. You get both.

Well, you then change the request to a HEAD so it may act differently.

curl [options] [URL] -o /dev/null

I guess -f might work too.
