Powershell introduces more complications, with functions like Invoke-WebRequest being given the alias "curl". At a minimum, you would get a type validation error, as Invoke-WebRequest by default gives back headers and other data as objects inside a larger object, not just the content string that curl.exe defaults to returning. This should work in both bash and PS, with different results: > curl HTTP://example.com > file.html
