What if you enable VERBOSE and HEADER ?

What if you try other SSL sites like https://www.openssl.org/ ?

I'd like to point out here in all friendlyness that I do ask you to *not* use
the curl site as test target for your programs. It has a fair amount of work
to do anyway, without this extra load.

I'm not sure why this happens. But a quick glance shows that curl uses
curl_global_init() for example, which your program doesn't.
