needs some curl help
Could someone explain to me why my curl string is breaking...

WORKING: https://fqdn.net/


Code:

DOESN'T WORK: https://fqdn.net/cgi-bin/and?some&really=long&string..



Code:
$ curl -k -u user:pass -e https://anexternalpage.net/nag/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&servicestatustypes=28&serviceprops=10&hostprops=10&sorttype=2&sortoption=3 -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4" -v https://anexternalpage.net/nag/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&servicestatustypes=28&serviceprops=10&hostprops=10&sorttype=2&sortoption=3

[9] 40949
[10] 40950
$ -bash: -A: command not found
curl: no URL specified!
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information


^C


Code:
[1]   Exit 2                  curl -k -u user:pass -e https://anexternalpage.net/nag/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all
[2]   Done                    servicestatustypes=28
[3]   Done                    serviceprops=10
[4]   Done                    hostprops=10
[5]   Done                    sorttype=2
[6]   Exit 127                sortoption=3 -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4" -v https://anexternalpage.net/nag/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all
[7]   Done                    servicestatustypes=28
[8]   Done                    serviceprops=10
[9]-  Done                    hostprops=10
[10]+  Done                    sorttype=2
$


Why isn't it looking at the command as one vs. multiple commands and more importantly, how can I work around it? Could the request to cgi-bin have anything to do with it?

I'm working with..
FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE #2
Curl 7.18.0


Also, here is the FF interaction if it helps any. FF doesn't complain


Code:

Hi.

Use quotes around the URL. I usually use wget, and I find that I often need to do that with many URLs. Otherwise the shell will attempt to do something with special characters, e.g. "?", and break the string at whitespace, etc. ... cheers, drl
