How to capture Curl output to a file?

Question

I have a text document that contains a bunch of URLs in this format:

URL = \"sitehere.com\"

What I\'m looking to do is to run curl -K

Answer 1

For a single file you can use -O instead of -o filename to use the last segment of the URL path as the filename. Example:

curl http://example.com/folder/big-file.iso -O

will save the results to a new file named big-file.iso in the current folder. In this way it works similar to wget but allows you to specify other curl options that are not available when using wget.
