Doesn't look like you hit return twice... this is a bug in the state
machine for HTTP/1.1 that I haven't had a chance to track down yet.

What happens if you (setq url-http-debug t) and then start the download?
This will spit out a LOT of debugging info about reusing connections,
requests/responses, etc into the "*HTTP-DEBUG*" buffer.
