1 Long: url 2 Arg: <url> 3 Help: URL to work with 4 Category: curl 5 Example: --url $URL 6 Added: 7.5 7 --- 8 Specify a URL to fetch. This option is mostly handy when you want to specify 9 URL(s) in a config file. 10 11 If the given URL is missing a scheme name (such as "http://" or "ftp://" etc) 12 then curl will make a guess based on the host. If the outermost sub-domain 13 name matches DICT, FTP, IMAP, LDAP, POP3 or SMTP then that protocol will be 14 used, otherwise HTTP will be used. Since 7.45.0 guessing can be disabled by 15 setting a default protocol, see --proto-default for details. 16 17 This option may be used any number of times. To control where this URL is 18 written, use the --output or the --remote-name options. 19 20 **WARNING**: On Windows, particular file:// accesses can be converted to 21 network accesses by the operating system. Beware! 22
