changelog of the current development status, as one or more of these problems
may have been fixed since this was written!
+92. curl tool 7.47.1 in Windows will not --output to any device unless the
+ device prefix is used. To send output to a device that has a reserved dos
+ device name use the Windows device prefix \\.\ (eg: --output \\.\NUL) or use
+ the redirection operator at the end of your curl command (eg: > NUL).
+ The next release of curl will support --output in Windows to reserved device
+ names without the device prefix for backwards compatibility.
