Dear all,

amazon.com was working just fine with cURL until yesterday. When I issue:

curl.exe -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:59.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0" https://www.amazon.com -o "out.html"

...I get binary garbage in the "out.html" file.
Note that I even tried to "hide" cURL by using a Mozilla user-string.
Also note that this applies to amazon.com ONLY. all other pages I tried
are working properly.

What could be the reason for that behaviour?

cURL version on Windows 10 Version 20H2 (Build 19042.685), 64 bit:
curl 7.74.0 (i386-pc-win32) libcurl/7.74.0 OpenSSL/1.1.1i (Schannel)
