Ah well I decided I am likely the worst shell scripter I know !
I am having much more success running my prototyping via Rexx - which I've been using for much longer and I can work with syscalls and spawn more easily.
Thx for taking an interest.

Hi Hank,
This errors usually occurs when URL cannot be read properly.
It looks, the protocol name was read as ""https" instead of "https". Could you check if you have extra double quotes in your script?
You can also try to skip the quotes around URL:
curl -k -s -v -o htmlu.txt https://example.com
It should work in mostly cases.
Thanks,
Sergey

Anybody got any clues as to why
curl -k -s -v -o htmlu.txt "https://my.url"
when issues in a shell script using sh /tmp/my.stdin would give
Protocol ""https" not supported or disabled in libcurl
when the exact same command cut/pasted onto the OMVS shell
works fine ?
Hank
