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 will make a guess based on the host. If the outermost sub-domain +name matches DICT, FTP, IMAP, LDAP, POP3 or SMTP then that protocol will be +used, otherwise HTTP will be used. Since 7.45.0 guessing can be disabled by +setting a default protocol, see --proto-default for details. + +This option may be used any number of times. To control where this URL is +written, use the --output or the --remote-name options. |
