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
