Ok, I think I see the problem - it's the remote end.

Remote end sequence number is still at 1190.

19:47:32.285397 IP (tos 0x0, ttl  64, id 30055, offset 0, flags [DF], proto: TCP (6), length: 40) dyn-67.arm.linux.org.uk.38803 > 193.108.74.209.http: ., cksum 0x41e5 (correct), 3216:3216(0) ack 2215 win 10701

...

So it looks to me like the remote end doesn't like our ack of 2215 for
some reason.
