| Tells curl to use an alternative "target" (path) instead of using the path as |
| provided in the URL. Particularly useful when wanting to issue HTTP requests |
| without leading slash or other data that does not follow the regular URL |
| pattern, like "OPTIONS *". |

| curl passes on the verbatim string you give it its the request without any |
| filter or other safe guards. That includes white space and control characters. |
