I get an error using the following curl too:

curl 7.20.1 (x86_64-mandriva-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.20.1 OpenSSL/1.0.0a zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.2.5
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp scp sftp smtp smtps telnet tftp 
Features: GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz 

The same URL sends wget into a loop:

IMO, this all points to the remote server being poorly compliant. Senthil's solution seems good enough here.
