This may be a stretch, but try to set the User Agent string to mimic Firefox before sending your request. I wrote a PHP scrape to gather guild member information from the World Of Warcraft Armory [1] a few years back, and it kept giving me HTML instead of XML until I used the User Agent of a browser that most sites accept is capable of parsing XML. A lot of sites conditionally send IE (and unknown browsers) XHTML instead of XML if there is any transformation of data involved. Also--your comment "Could be that curl is not sending properly formatted XML" is possible. Have you looked at the resulting HTML that is sent to curl to make sure that it's not a server error message? If it's the results you were looking for (but in XHTML format instead of XML), I'll bet it's a User Agent thing.
