system('curl www.google.com') doesn't work

Hi, everyone. I ran into some trouble when I tried to ran this in matlab 'system('curl www.google.com')'. Matlab prompts: curl: (48) An unknown option was passed in to libcurl

ans =

    48 
I spent long time on trying to fix it. But nothing seem to work.
I am using Matlab 2014a on a Mac.
 Thank you.

I have a Mac too, and running the above command system('curl www.google.com') (or system('curl www.google.ca')) works fine. What happens if you (outside of MATLAB) launch a Terminal window and type curl www.google.com? Do you see the same error?

I am having the same issue also. I can use system('curl -h'). But all other options such as system('curl www.google.com') fail with the same message:

curl: (48) An unknown option was passed in to libcurl

Don't you mean single quotes?

yeah sorry, I meant it didn't work with single quote.
