[Bug 1613698] Re: curl: Problem with chunked encoded data

[Joe]

Using the PHP script from https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72131 we were
able to reproduce the bug with curl 7.35.0-1ubuntu2.8 (maybe there's a
simpler way to reproduce...):

---------------------------------------------

# dpkg -l | grep curl
ii  curl                             7.35.0-1ubuntu2.8                amd64        command line tool for transferring data with URL syntax
ii  libcurl3:amd64                   7.35.0-1ubuntu2.8                amd64        easy-to-use client-side URL transfer library (OpenSSL flavour)

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  curl in Ubuntu 14.0.4 suffers from a bug ("Problem (2) in the Chunked-Encoded data") introduced in curl 7.35.0 (https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/345891edba32312686e18d8ff185f4476b74e417).

  See the corresponding thread on the curl mailing list:
  * https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2014-02/0100.html
  * https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2014-02/0108.html

  Googling for "Problem (2) in the Chunked-Encoded data" shows that this seems to be a problem for other Ubuntu users, too. For example:
  * https://github.com/jackalope/jackalope-jackrabbit/issues/89#issuecomment-55084492
  * https://www.mastizada.com/blog/chunked-encoded-data-error-in-php-curl-requests/
  * https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72131

  [ test case]
  * curl -v 'http://curl.haxx.se/download/' 
  (this might work on some configurations)

  
  [ fix ]

  The issue was fixed in curl 7.36.0 with
  https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/0ab97ba0090f2609760c33000181f08757336a48

  If you apply that patch to curl in Ubuntu 14.04, I'm sure you'll make
  a lot of people happy - including me. Thanks!

  [Regression Potential] 
  * none, fix comes from upstream, and is a fix of a bad commit
