Am I reading this right, curl 7.64.1 with libcurl 7.65.3?  Those
versions should match exactly.

Below are the traces from initial and subsequent calls. We also tried using same version curl on a linux box, without any issues. We also downloaded latest version of curl from curl for Windows, "curl 7.65.3 (i386-pc-win32) libcurl/7.65.3 OpenSSL/1.1.1c (Schannel) zlib/1.2.11 brotli/1.0.7 WinIDN libssh2/1.9.0 nghttp2/1.39.2", and its also working correctly.

Make sure you are using all the latest packages, especially that you
have the latest and matching versions of curl and libcurl, and try
again.
