Solved, yes, but for how long?

You've been told several times: unfortunately, URLAS is not reliable. 
Sooner or later it will hang and you will have to force-quit it 
before it can work again. How will you force-quit it? Probably with a 
shell script, using ps and killall. So finally you're not learning 
curl and instead you will learn killall and ps.
