Passing a URL with brackets to curl

Never mind, I found it in the docs:

-g/--globoff
              This  option  switches  off  the "URL globbing parser". When you set this option, you can
              specify URLs that contain the letters {}[] without having them being interpreted by  curl
              itself.  Note  that  these  letters  are not normal legal URL contents but they should be
              encoded according to the URI standard.

Globbing uses brackets, hence the need to escape them with a slash \. Alternatively, the following command-line switch will disable globbing:

--globoff (or the short-option version: -g)

Ex:

curl --globoff https://www.google.com?test[]=1

None of the above answers worked for me, I have to replace all opening/closing brackets with %5B and %5D.

[ ---> %5B and for

] ---> %5D

My initial curl url was like this this

https://test.com/computer/agent1/api/json?pretty=true&tree=executors[currentExecutable[url]]

Now I am using like this

https://test.com/computer/agent1/api/json?pretty=true&tree=executors%5BcurrentExecutable%5Burl%5D%5D
