        CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER => true,
        CURLOPT_HEADER => false,
        CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => false,

    fclose($f);

Answer 1

Remove CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true from your code or put it before CURLOPT_FILE .

This is known interaction as CURLOPT_FILE depends on CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER being set.
