When cURLing a URL, you’re only receiving what is at that URL, which is likely just an HTML document.
cURL does not automatically download all 200 images that are referred to in the HTML document, because cURL does not care about HTML. Quite the contrary; if you wanted to download all 200 images, you’d have to parse the HTML by hand and make further cURL request for each individual image.
Example from the command line:
That’s all a cURL request gets. There’s one image in there:
<img src="/2008/site/images/logo-w3c-mobile-lg" width="90" height="53" alt="W3C" />. That’s all you’re getting of it, you’re not getting the image itself.
