There's nothing wrong (in this regard) with the server. =A0See
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html

| In HTTP, it SHOULD be sent whenever the message's length can be
| determined prior to being transferred

You forced it to use gzip encoding, which is often a streaming
process, and in general a server won't know in advance how long the
content will be.

Remove the -H (and -I) and curl works just fine (and the content is
shorter than the gzipped version).

In fact, curl works just fine even with the -H option, as long as you
remove the -I, and remember to gunzip the contents.

You had the choice of:
a) criticizing the set-up of one of the web's largest and most reliable
   download sites or
b) pausing to consider whether perhaps you'd missed something in your
   HTTP class
I think perhaps you made the wrong choice.
