I’m trying to write a script that will download all the source material from the tutorials at lazyfoo.net. An example download link for the file is

http://lazyfoo.net/downloads/index.php?file=SDLTut_lesson16

I use this command:

curl http://lazyfoo.net/downloads/index.php?file=SDLTut_lesson13 --O lesson13.zip

This gets me this response and no file:

 % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
 0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0

Am I missing something obvious?

    You are getting a 302 redirect. Use the -L option

    curl http://lazyfoo.net/downloads/index.php?file=SDLTut_lesson13 -L --O lesson13.zip

    Also in future -v (stands for verbose) is useful for debugging.
