   Friendly and fast tool for sending HTTP requests

   

   wget on the other hand, automatically converts the ñ to UTF-8 hex and resolves the link perfectly.

   I've searched the curl manpage and couldn't find a way to solve this. Please help.

   I'm having to use `xh --curl` [1] to "fix" the links before I pass them to curl.
