From Debian 13.2 (Trixie) + Bash + curl 8.14.1:

  $ curl -s 'https://httpbingo.org/get?' | jq .url
  "https://httpbingo.org/get"
But on macOS + Bash/Zsh + curl 8.7.1:

  $ curl -s 'https://httpbingo.org/get?' | jq .url
  "https://httpbingo.org/get?"
I see some related changes here: https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/3eac21d

Might be shell expansion? zsh uses `?` for filename expansion, others might as well: https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Doc/Release/Expansion.html#Filena...

Though I forget if any shell does stuff like that in quotes. Or printing oddities.

No, it’s definitely curl that’s doing it.

  $ echo 'https://httpbingo.org/get?'
  https://httpbingo.org/get?
  $ python
  >>> import json
  >>> import subprocess
  >>> json.loads(subprocess.run(['curl', '-s', 'https://httpbingo.org/get?'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout)['url']
  'https://httpbingo.org/get'
I’m using curl 8.20.0-3, Arch Linux, x86_64.

  $ curl --version
