Description:
------------
This is a follow up to the (incorrectly marked) bogus Bug #28168. After discussing in the php.general newsgroup. I have come to the conclusion that the Windows binary distribution of PHP 4.3.6 includes a broken php_curl.dll 

The binary in question was obtained via:

http://www.php.net/get/php-4.3.6-Win32.zip/from/a/mirror






Reproduce code:
---------------
http://www.vegguide.org/plain/rss-code/get_and_parse_vegguide_rss_feed-php

(Requires an account to be able to download RSS data) 

The problem is the follwing 2 lines: 

curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_ENCODING, 'gzip');
$data = curl_exec($c);


Expected result:
----------------
$data should be a string. 



Actual result:
--------------
$data is GZIP compressed binary data.

NB: A user in the newsgroup reported that the code still works on Linux. Prior to 4.3.6 the above also used to work on Windows, it no longer does.
