Ouch. This is a seriously broken server. Have you tried to simply contact the
admins of it to ask if they can fix it instead of trying to shoe-horn in a

This looks like a broken zlib stream that libcurl/zlib rightfully whines
about. Making an illegal value become OK seems like a huge kludge to me!
