That is a feature of the command line tool, it has a "globbing" function that
then calls libcurl accordingly to download the files. This is not a libcurl

curl uses nothing but libcurl to get files, so if curl can do it, anything
else that uses libcurl can do it too. It just isn't providing automaticly by
libcurl.
