it seems HTTP servers send the *uncompressed* length in that header and
libcurl thinks of it as the *compressed* length. Some explanations are here:

-2. If a HTTP server responds to a HEAD request and includes a body (thus
- violating the RFC2616), curl won't wait to read the response but just stop
- reading and return back. If a second request (let's assume a GET) is then
- immediately made to the same server again, the connection will be re-used
- fine of course, and the second request will be sent off but when the
- response is to get read, the previous response-body is what curl will read
- and havoc is what happens.
- More details on this is found in this libcurl mailing list thread:
