- the specified URL can also get data sent to it - rephrase the scheme guessing part - mention target options for each URL for saving data - mention --remote-name-all - remove "warning" and make it into normal text Closes #15396

--url
Specify a URL to fetch or send data to.
If the given URL is missing a scheme (such as http:// or ftp:// etc) curl
guesses which scheme to use based on the hostname. If the outermost subdomain
name matches DICT, FTP, IMAP, LDAP, POP3 or SMTP case insensitively, then that
protocol is used, otherwise it assumes HTTP. Scheme guessing can be avoided by
providing a full URL including the scheme, or disabled by setting a default
protocol, see --proto-default for details.
To control where the contents of a retrieved URL is written instead of the default stdout, use the --output or the --remote-name options. When retrieving multiple URLs in a single invoke, each provided URL needs its own dedicated destination option unless --remote-name-all is used.
On Windows, file:// accesses can be converted to network accesses by the
operating system.
