# URL
|
|
The URL syntax is protocol-dependent. You can find a detailed description in
|
|
RFC 3986.
|
|
|
|
If you provide a URL without a leading `protocol://` scheme, curl guesses
|
|
what protocol you want. It then defaults to HTTP but assumes others based on
|
|
often-used hostname prefixes. For example, for hostnames starting with `ftp.`
|
|
curl assumes you want FTP.
|
|
|
|
You can specify any amount of URLs on the command line. They are fetched in a
|
|
sequential manner in the specified order unless you use --parallel. You can
|
|
specify command line options and URLs mixed and in any order on the command
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
curl attempts to reuse connections when doing multiple transfers, so that
|
|
getting many files from the same server does not use multiple connects and
|
|
setup handshakes. This improves speed. Connection reuse can only be done for
|
|
URLs specified for a single command line invocation and cannot be performed
|
|
between separate curl runs.
|
|
|
|
Everything provided on the command line that is not a command line option or
|
|
its argument, curl assumes is a URL and treats it as such.
