this does not seem to add up. The man page for -o says:

Like in:

   curl http://{one,two}.site.com -o "file_#1.txt"

or use several variables like:

   curl http://{site,host}.host[1-5].com -o "#1_#2"

It does not quote the URL.

I have tried:

bin/curl --proxy-negotiate -o file_#1.html -U : -x <omitted>
"http://curl.haxx.se/docs/{manpage,libs}.html"

What is my fault here?

Thanks,
