# curl options to use
curl -LJO
Options (excepts from the curl man page)
-L, --location
(HTTP) If the server reports that the requested page has moved to a different location
(indicated with a Location: header and a 3XX response code), this option will make curl
redo the request on the new place.
-o, --output <file>
Write output to <file> instead of stdout. If you are using {} or [] to fetch multiple
documents, you should quote the URL and you can use '#' followed by a number in the
<file> specifier. That variable will be replaced with the current string for the URL
being fetched.
-O, --remote-name
Write output to a local file named like the remote file we get. (Only the file part of
the remote file is used, the path is cut off.
-J, --remote-header-name
(HTTP) This option tells the -O, --remote-name option to use the server-specified
Content-Disposition filename instead of extracting a filename from the URL.
