It is hard to tell as curl does not seem any debug output when it
executes a connection request.

You may want to try this HTTP client class that provides plenty of debug
output so you can see what is going on during the connection.

Dear Matthias,
when the browser prompts for saving, it's because the server says so
in the header information. It sounds more likely to be a server issue
than to be a problem of curl. Did you try to reduce the code, to e.g.
let curl just fetch the google homepage and display it? That way you
could see if it is really curl which creates the problems.

Good luck
Martin
