How can I use curl to access a binary file directly from a URL?

Hmm, curl access a binary should work fine with `curl -O [URL]`. If it’s saving as text, maybe the file itself is mislabeled? Try opening it in a hex editor to check.

Alternatively, you can use `curl -o output.bin [URL]` to force a binary extension. And yeah, curl handles binaries properly—no worries there.
