curling directories now returns curl: (36) failed to resume file:// transfer

[lukegb]

I did this

curl file:///etc/

I got

curl: (36) failed to resume file:// transfer

I expected the following

An empty response.

Notes

Since 957bc18, curling a directory now causes an error because we have a length for the directory of -1, which is always less than the requested start of 0.
