This is an unusual one. The command interpreter may still process special characters in REM comments in batch files, and in this case interprets a question mark in a URL as path globbing or some such.
@jay Sorry about this. Another, more generic solution would be to switch
to use :: as comment marker. It would resolve this issue and be more readable too.
It's supported way back into MS-DOS, so it should be safe:
It's not your fault, just a bug. I would argue it's a Windows bug but the way they document it you can't really be sure. I've programmed a lot of batch and I've never seen that happen before. I don't think it's necessary to change all .bat comments from rem to :: to address this issue. That note is stale anyway since we no longer set the errorlevel.

To remedy this I'm going to remove that NOTE. FYI @captain-caveman2k @vszakats
