-92. curl tool 7.47.1 in Windows will not --output to any device unless the
-  device prefix is used. To send output to a device that has a reserved dos
-  device name use the Windows device prefix \\.\ (eg: --output \\.\NUL) or use
-  the redirection operator at the end of your curl command (eg: > NUL).
-  The next release of curl will support --output in Windows to reserved device
-  names without the device prefix for backwards compatibility.
