Yes, because the original command line doesn't use a pipe, it uses
"backticks", that works like this:

original string: first `command` later

becomes: first outputfromthecommand later

I don't know enough windows details to tell if this is at all possible to do
there. An alternative approach would be to change this test command line to
instead generate a config file using this huge URL and then call curl to use
that command line.

PS great catch on that sws bug!
