   As usual, actual output from "tcpip show version" would be
better than a vague description.

   No.  Around here (although the quotation isn't really
needed):

alp $ curl "http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/radar/index_e.html?id=XFT"
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"   "http://
www.w3.org/TR

[...]

alp $ curl --version
curl 7.19.7 (ALPHA-HP-VMS) libcurl/7.19.7 OpenSSL/0.9.8j
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict http file https ftps
Features: Largefile NTLM SSL

alp $ tcpip show version

  HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.6 - ECO 4
  on a COMPAQ Professional Workstation XP1000 running OpenVMS V8.3

   I know nothing, but I suspect that cURL offers options to
enable some verbosity and/or debug output.

alp $ curl --help
[...]
    --trace <file>  Write a debug trace to the given file
    --trace-ascii <file> Like --trace but without the hex output
    --trace-time    Add time stamps to trace/verbose output
[...]
 -v/--verbose       Make the operation more talkative
[...]

   Just a thought.
