Two options:

1) Put double-quotes around the URL:
    curl "http://b.com/test.asp?a=1&b=2"

2) Put the URL into a config file:
    curl -K url.txt

url.txt would contain one line:
--url http://b.com/test.asp?a=1&b2

The -d option is used with HTML forms that use the POST method (the documentation could be a bit clearer, as -F says something about HTML forms, which might be construed to imply that -d is for the GET/Query-string option). Web programs looking for form fields as part of the URL (the Query String) would use the GET method in their form, and I don't think curl offers a command-line parameter to specify those separately from the URL. It would certainly make sense though...

But I really want to add more parameters such as:

F:\curl>curl -A 'Mozilla/5.0'
http://www.aex.nl/scripts/marktinfo/OnderliggendAandeel.asp?Symbool=KPN&taal

The WinNT commandline does something with the & and says:
The name specified is not recognized as an
internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I tried using posting with the -d option such as:

F:\curl>curl -A 'Mozilla/5.0' -d "Symbool=KPN"
