Help with using lynx/wget/curl when a link has an ampersand

Hi, for my own interest I want to scrape a lot of data off the Maple Story game rankings page.

The problem is, when I want to get the data at this page

maplestory(dot)nexon(dot)net/Rankings/OverallRanking.aspx?type=overall&s=&world=0&job=0&pageIndex=6

It gives me the data at this page

maplestory(dot)nexon(dot)net/Rankings/OverallRanking.aspx?type=overall

so I think it has to do with the ampersands. I've tried it with curl/wget/lynx --dump and none of them work. Maybe I'm just missing a command or using the wrong tool. Does anyone have advice?

Thanks.

CURLOPT_PATH_AS_IS(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options					     CURLOPT_PATH_AS_IS(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_PATH_AS_IS - do not handle dot dot sequences SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PATH_AS_IS, long leaveit); DESCRIPTION
Set the long leaveit to 1, to explicitly tell libcurl to not alter the given path before passing it on to the server. This instructs libcurl to NOT squash sequences of "/../" or "/./" that may exist in the URL's path part and that is supposed to be removed according to RFC 3986 section 5.2.4. Some server implementations are known to (erroneously) require the dot dot sequences to remain in the path and some clients want to pass these on in order to try out server implementations. By default libcurl will merge such sequences before using the path. DEFAULT
0 PROTOCOLS
All EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com/../../etc/password"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PATH_AS_IS, 1L); curl_easy_perform(curl); } AVAILABILITY
Aded in 7.42.0 RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. SEE ALSO
