Hint: the letter & is a special letter to any unix shell. It tells the shell
to run the program in the background. Try enclosing the entire URL within
quotes (double or single ones).

Exactly, that's because the &-letter and everything to the right of it is cut
off by the shell. Curl never gets that data.
