It looks like Aia guessed correctly by ignoring the last dollar-sign in your original post:
Code:
curl -L http://webpage/${yr}/${mo}/track${yr}${mo}${da}${ho}${mi}$_infos.html

When the shell processes $_infos.html, it treats _infos as a variable name, and, if it is unset, expands $_infos.html to the string .html; not to the string _infos.html.
