What Are the Most Useful curl Flags You Use Regularly? or Can Someone Explain These Essential curl Fl

`-J` (remote header filename) is niche but cool—saves downloads with the filename from headers.

`--data-urlencode` for URL-encoded form data. No more manual `%20` nonsense.

For readability, I use variables in scripts:

```
URL="https://api.example.com"
AUTH="Bearer token"
curl -H "Authorization: $AUTH" "$URL"
```

Way cleaner.
