cURL uploads 0 length file for sftp transfer.

Curl under cygwin - TCP keepalive
I need to download a file from a remote server via a https request, and the
remote server takes several minutes to prepare the file.
Without any keepalives, the remote end will terminate the socket, but
it doesn't close it (which I know is weird).
Running curl with --keepalive 45 on a linux centos7 machine, enables the
transfer to work. With tcpdump, I see the nop packet every 45 seconds.
But on cygwin, the --keepalive parameter doesn't seem to have effect.
Running wireshark, I don't see any keepalives.
Running the request in a browser, chrome or firefox, works fine, and I can
see keepalives in wireshark, so clearly they are either setting the socket
options correctly, or they are sending their own nop.
Running on a vm, vmware workstation / centos8 , on the same machine where
I am running curl, I can see the keepalives.
I have downloaded and rebuilt curl and that did not resolve the issue.
Can someone shed some light on this?
