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.
92. curl tool 7.47.1 in Windows will not --output to literal paths \\?\ or to
reserved dos device names unless the device prefix \\.\ is used. To send
output to a device that has a reserved dos device name you can use the
Windows device prefix (eg: --output \\.\NUL). You can also use the
redirection operator to send output to a literal path or a reserved device
name (eg: > NUL).
The next release of curl will support --output in Windows to literal paths
and to reserved device names without the device prefix.
