I don't like that Microsoft made PowerShell commandlet called "curl", because it is not the curl. It's some fake script that fetches URI.

One big problem is troubleshooting. Ask somebody to use Curl with Windows and when they type curl to the command line... And minutes later, wait? What are you using exactly, yes, it's the impostor curl provided by Microsoft, you need the REAL curl.

#Curl #Microsoft

the real one is *also* there, you just need to add ".exe" ...

Yeah, but why add the impostor curl. It makes things more difficult.

PS C:\> curl --help
curl : The remote name could not be resolved: '--help'
