Re: using curl to download a file

My personal favorite is to use uppercase O instead of the lowercase one.

The command would like like this then:
curl -L -O
https://bitbucket.org/claudio_ortega/soundbridge/downloads/jre-8u172-macosx-x64.tar.gz

-O will automatically extract the filename from the URL, however this is
not always possible.

Cheers,
Emil
