The variable expansion is being done by the shell, not by curl, so it
failing isn't a curl problem. In the example you gave, you have a space
before and after new_file when setting it. That would cause the Bourne
shell to fail to parse it. Try replacing curl in your command-line with
echo to see how the shell is doing variable replacement.
