That's a very old version!

I don't think this is a problem with curl, I think this is your server that
closes the connection. curl has no such timeout waiting for the response code.
If you don't specify a timeout, curl will wait more or less forever on that
response.

Of course, wiresharking the network tells if this is triggered by a
server-side close or not.
