curl

    1: Long: url
    2: Arg: <url>
    3: Help: URL to work with
    4: ---
    5: Specify a URL to fetch. This option is mostly handy when you want to specify
    6: URL(s) in a config file.
    7: 
    8: If the given URL is missing a scheme name (such as "http://" or "ftp://" etc)
    9: then curl will make a guess based on the host. If the outermost sub-domain
   10: name matches DICT, FTP, IMAP, LDAP, POP3 or SMTP then that protocol will be
   11: used, otherwise HTTP will be used. Since 7.45.0 guessing can be disabled by
   12: setting a default protocol, see --proto-default for details.
   13: 
   14: This option may be used any number of times. To control where this URL is
   15: written, use the --output or the --remote-name options.
   16: 
   17: Warning: On Windows, particular file:// accesses can be converted to network
   18: accesses by the operating system. Beware!
