Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Two days ago I've started receiving the above error message when trying to access my AssetList via curl from my web tool.
The assetlist is ~850kb but it stops the transfer at ~800kb, varying between attempts. Is this an expected behavior? Am I doing something wrong?

Here's my curl code:

    $ch = curl_init();
    
    if(!empty($post)) {
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST      ,1);
        curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
    }

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

    if (ini_get('open_basedir') == '' && ini_get('safe_mode' == 'Off'))
        curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
        
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 60);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    
        
       if (strpos ($url, "AssetList.xml") !== false) {
           $fp = fopen('../transfer.log', 'w');
           curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, TRUE);
           curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_STDERR, $fp);
        }
    $data = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);

I did, but it didn't fix it.
In the logs I see that it takes 27s to run, which is already x4 times slower than it used to be, which I guess suggest the underlying problem.

But anyway, this seems to have been fixed for the time being.
