In the second example the author does the following:

  $ ACCEPT="text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8"
  $ curl -v -H "$UA" -H "$ACCEPT" $URL |& grep '< HTTP'

The author fails to prefix $ACCEPT with the actual header key. It should be:

  $ curl -v -H "$UA" -H "Accept: $ACCEPT" $URL |& grep '< HTTP'

From personal experience I'd be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt (i.e. he did it right, but wrote it up wrong). Good spot though.

Thanks! Indeed a copy paste error, I updated the article.
