The curl alias in powershell is not compatible so it is an inconvenience. Must be one of the worst decisions to make it into windows, which is saying a lot.

The worst part is that Windows does ship cURL as a binary at `C:\Windows\System32\curl.exe` (may be dependent on some optional feature, dunno). Nowadays it does invoke this for me on my system, but I don't remember if I did something for this to be the case.

Most of the aliases are for convenience when working in an interactive shell, which will generally be dealing with more basic functions of a command. For scripting it is best practice to use the full commandlet names.

Browsers let me copy-paste curl commands from developer tools. These don’t work with windows «curl».

I know a few flags of curl too. These also don’t generally work with «curl».

So type “curl.exe” instead of “curl” or remove the alias in PowerShell.

I just avoid windows whenever I can.
