This is a great start!

Some suggestions:

- Allow insecure URLs by providing -k option automatically for https URLs

- Auto follow HTTP redirects by providing -L option by default

- Rather than use the curl-options setting, just accept —-user and —-pass as options then pass this to curl

I know people will feel strongly about some of these however it would simplify curl usage for a majority of the download only use cases

Other curl options can be used for the more “advanced” use cases like Headers
