[curl:bugs] #1426 curl v7.38.0 does not work with xbmc - cannot scrape or download

Hello Daniel. The expected action is for xbmc to use pull down data via curl. What actually happened is that call timed out. I wish I could provide you with additional info to help you, but the xbmc dev team has made it clear that the problem lies in with curl, not xbmc. I am not a programmer, just an end-user.

Did the way curl handles ipv4 and ipv6 change between the two releases I mentioned?

Xbmc v13.2 does not work properly with curl v7.38.0. I cannot scrape anything now nor download anything through xbmc. The log indicates timing out to curl. I rebuilt xbmc against this new version of curl, but still, no downloads are possible.  Downgrading to v7.37.1 of curl solves the problem, so it seems to be related to this new release.
I have verified that I can download files form the shell with the current version of curl.  The xbmc dev group closed my ticket against xbmc with the comment, "report to curl."
Here are the lines from xbmc's log file showing the timeout:
