You'll find that & is a control character in dos.
put quotes around the URL -> "http://..."
it'll work fine.

the verbose output from curl is tells you what its trying to access with
the GET command
GET /redir?pid=10214919

which doesn't include the rest of your url.

the other bits which show up after the curl command
'merid' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

show you that windows is trying to run a command called merid but can't
find it.
