Example: --get -d "tool=curl" -d "age=old" $URL
Example: --get -I -d "tool=curl" $URL
Added: 7.8.1

---
When used, this option will make all data specified with --data, --data-binary
or --data-urlencode to be used in an HTTP GET request instead of the POST
request that otherwise would be used. The data will be appended to the URL
with a '?' separator.
If used in combination with --head, the POST data will instead be appended to
the URL with a HEAD request.
If this option is used several times, only the first one is used. This is
because undoing a GET does not make sense, but you should then instead enforce
the alternative method you prefer.
