Hi there,  
I have a script which uses CURL to pull data.  
It works great for most of the API request function except for one. I know there is a bit of data to be pulled but if iI set CURLOPT\_RETURNTRANSFER to 0 then i can see the chunk data but cut off and i have the error number ‘56’ and error message which says “[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Calibri]Problem (3) in the Chunked-Encoded data”. On the other hand setting the [/FONT][/COLOR]CURLOPT\_RETURNTRANSFER to 1 then curl\_exec returns false and the same errors show up.  
I have tried to set the buffer size higher, increase timeout but still no success.  
Can someone help please.  
Thanks  
Jerome
