I beg to differ.
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER is not an option that libcurl provides, it is an
option that the PHP/CURL layer has invented and uses.
Thus, we cannot fix this in the curl project. It is not a curl bug!

You're probabiliy correct saying that it's not a PHP bug, but it really
seems a wrong cURL behaviour to me.
When setting CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER I'm asking curl_exec to return the
result instead that outputting it, but result isn't returned, neither
printed out.
Thank you for your help.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.
Thank you for your interest in PHP.
Not PHP bug (if it even is a bug which I doubt).
Ask the curl author(s).

Description:
------------
Trying to help a friend which wanted to do a curl HEAD request with php
(just like the shell curl -I does), I wrote down this code, without
much checking:
$ch = curl_init('http://foo/bar.html');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'HEAD');
var_dump(curl_exec($ch));
In fact he tried it and told me it doesn't work, while this does:
$ch = curl_init('http://foo/bar.html');
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'HEAD');
ob_start();
curl_exec($ch);
var_dump(ob_get_clean());
phpinfo() tels me that I'm running:
libcurl/7.10.5 OpenSSL/0.9.7b zlib/1.1.4
I've also seen bug #15279, but it was marked as documentation problem,
and didn't explain this weird issue.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$ch = curl_init('http://beccati.com/img/adv.png');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'HEAD');
var_dump(curl_exec($ch));
Expected result:
----------------
string(214) "HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2004 07:39:06 GMT
Server: Apache

Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)
