The URL syntax is protocol-dependent. You'll find a detailed description in
RFC 3986.
Makes curl scan the \fI.netrc\fP (\fI_netrc\fP on Windows) file in the user's
home directory for login name and password. This is typically used for FTP on
Unix. If used with HTTP, curl will enable user authentication. See
-.BR netrc(4)
-or
-.BR ftp(1)
-for details on the file format. Curl will not complain if that file
-doesn't have the right permissions (it should not be either world- or
-group-readable). The environment variable "HOME" is used to find the home
-directory.
