curl loops during NTLM authentication

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

We see that curl closes each new connection with

no chunk, no close, no size. Assume close to signal end

message. This leads to infinite loop when NTLM authentication is required, e.g. when invoked as

curl -v -I -L -k -s --ntlm -u ACCOUNT:PASSWORD https://URL/example.html

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.5
  • curl-7.19.7-40.el6_6.1.x86_64
