Best way to curl file from command line? Need tips! or How do I curl file from a URL and save it loca

Thanks everyone! The `-H "User-Agent"` trick worked—turns out the site was blocking "curl file" requests.

Weirdly, adding `-H "Accept: */*"` also helped. Now I’m stuck on SSL cert errors though—any quick fixes for that?

Also, shoutout to the `--verbose` tip. Lifesaver for debugging!
For debugging, `curl -v` spits out EVERYTHING. Look for "Location" headers if 403s persist.

Also, tools like Insomnia or httpie are more user-friendly for testing before scripting with curl.
