Unexpected output from curl and wttr.in

Unexpected output from curl and wttr.in

[Mike MacEachern]

I'm currently at a loss with how curl is parsing wttr.in.  Now I've used
it without in the past, but it seems right now it's really struggling.
I've checked and echo $LANG reports en_US.UTF-8 just in case that was
the issue but it's not.  Now I've tried both mintty and the Windows
console (and changed ForceV2 to 0 as well), no dice.

What's interesting though if I use Cygwin to SSH into my Linux running
laptop, curl's output looks fine, so the issue doesn't appear to be
terminal related, unless there's something else I'm missing.  Here's a
screenshot of what's going on.

The top two windows are the local Cygwin machine, the bottom window is
Cygwin SSH'ed into my Linux machine.  This is a new Cygwin installation
too, only thing I changed was my bash prompt, but I don't see that
causing an issue.  Other programs like lynx, irssi, vim, nano, all
render just fine on Cygwin.  Screenfetch does have a slight text
alignment issue, but it still manages to parse fine, but curl is way off.

Ideas?

it seems curl does not kick the ESC interpretation,
however this does

$ curl -s wttr.in | cat

Works just fine for me on Windows 10 and mintty

Thanks for checking

not noted the first time:
it works on my 64bit but fails on 32bit and the reason is
that 32bit was using the windows version as the curl package was not 
installed.

I assume Mike need to install the curl package

That was it.  Somehow it slipped my mind, but I didn't even know that
Windows had its own version of curl.  Thanks!!

Useful path search diagnostic commands:

$ which -a curl
alias curl='curl -sSL'
        /usr/bin/curl
        /proc/cygdrive/c/.../cygwin32/bin/curl
        /proc/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/curl
$ man -awW curl		# -W also shows .../man/cat#/ pages
/usr/man/man1/curl.1.gz
/proc/cygdrive/c/.../cygwin32/usr/share/man/man1/curl.1.gz
$ whereis curl
curl: /usr/bin/curl.exe /usr/include/curl
/proc/cygdrive/c/.../cygwin32/bin/curl.exe
/proc/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/curl.exe /usr/share/man/man1/curl.1.gz

sure Mike,
but none of these will work if you are biased
to think that other problems are around

Huh?  I thought we solved this just by installing the Cygwin native
version of curl.  Nothing else required, by simply installing Cygwin's
own curl, the Windows version is automatically not used by default,
therefore no other work was required.
