alt Hacker NewsThe curl alias in powershell is not compatible so it is an inconvenience. Must be one of the worst decisions to make it into windows, which is saying a lot.

Most of the aliases are for convenience when working in an interactive shell, which will generally be dealing with more basic functions of a command. For scripting it is best practice to use the full commandlet names.

The worst part is that Windows does ship cURL as a binary at `C:\Windows\System32\curl.exe` (may be dependent on some optional feature, dunno). Nowadays it does invoke this for me on my system, but I don't remember if I did something for this to be the case.
