# `--url`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Specify a URL to fetch. This option is mostly handy when you want to specify
|
||
|
|
URL(s) in a config file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the given URL is missing a scheme name (such as `http://` or `ftp://` etc)
|
||
|
|
then curl makes a guess based on the host. If the outermost subdomain name
|
||
|
|
matches DICT, FTP, IMAP, LDAP, POP3 or SMTP then that protocol is used,
|
||
|
|
otherwise HTTP is used. Guessing can be avoided by providing a full URL
|
||
|
|
including the scheme, or disabled by setting a default protocol (added in
|
||
|
|
7.45.0), see --proto-default for details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To control where this URL is written, use the --output or the --remote-name
|
||
|
|
options.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**WARNING**: On Windows, particular `file://` accesses can be converted to
|
||
|
|
network accesses by the operating system. Beware!
