I'm using curl's glob feature to download many short files, say:

curl "http://foo.bar.com/text[1-1000000].txt" > result.txt

I want curl to echo the URL of each file in result.txt. Example:

=> http://foo.bar.com/text17.txt <=

[content of text17.txt]

=> http://foo.bar.com/text18.txt <=

[content of text18.txt]

and so on.

I realize I could use "-o text#1.txt", but I don't want to create a
million files.

I tried "-w %url_effective", but it literally put the string
"%url_effective" in my output file and didn't escape it.

How can I make curl do what I want?
