Hi,

I found a bug in the curl family of remote helpers. I've posted a
bugfix by assuming as little about the URL that libcurl accepts as
possible.

$ git remote-http foo
list
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 html>
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 <head>
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 <title>OpenDNS</title>
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 </head>
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 </head>
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 <body id="mainbody"
onLoad="testforbanner();" style="margin: 0px;">
<SNIP>

$ git remote-http foo
fetch 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 html>

error: inflate: data stream error (incorrect header check)
