Both test 20 and 507 rely on having a non-existing hostname not resolve. That doesn't work if your ISP is Deutsche Telekom, as is the case for me, because they'll redirect you to a page that says "What you're looking for doesn't exist".

Message:
I don't see how this is a bug in curl, it is a bug in your ISP's messed up
DNS setup. What exactly are you suggesting curl should do about this?
