I don't think this is a bug in curl but rather in the server. If you use
--trace-ascii or similar you might be able to see it yourself.

As you can see, the "Expect: 100-continue" header is what differs between the
requests and clearly your server is having problems with it.

The proper fix is to contact the server admins, but a work-around could be to
use -H "Expect:" to disable curl's use of this header.
