Why is nothing ever easy? curl in PowerShell is a mess, but here’s my go-to command for simple GET requests:
```
curl.exe -L -v -s -o nul "https://example.com"
```
The `-L` follows redirects, `-v` gives verbose output, and `-s` silences the progress bar.
If you’re stuck, try running `Get-Command curl` to see what’s being called. Might save you an hour of rage.
