I had no idea about this, really handy!

Quick question, is there a reason the -k (--insecure) flag is included? I imagine that https://domains.google.com would use a cert trusted by curl so it seems unnecessary and adds a risk that your traffic could be MitM.

I could see people doing this on old routers with outdated CA certs and etc. But agreed, it seems like a bad idea unless absolutely necessary.
