I am running the curl on a windows xp box. It does work for some urls that
I am trying to pull down a file.

https://xxx.com/xxx/FileDownload/MoveFile.aspx?FilePath=K:/CMA/REFRESHDATA/TRPWL/CUSTOMREPORTS/D_ELINS01_DCASH1.csv&desc=DCASH1

single or double quotes to do not work.

I get the message can not write to body

C:\Curl>curl -O -u ID:#passwd "https://xxx.com/xxx/FileDownloa
d/MoveFile.aspx?FilePath=K:/CMA/REFRESHDATA/TRPWL/CUSTOMREPORTS/D_ELINS01_DCASH1
.csv"

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
