I understand the reasoning, but I still a bit worry that this
could paper over some bug/race in the future.
If curl asks us only to deal with write, that would mean
that it doesn't expect any data to be received.

Do you by a chance have an example, of this patch
affecting the code? Maybe when a unexpected error reply
is received from the server?

I don't really know the CURL library, so I probably missed
something important.

Other than that,
