+question: 'Homework 4: Why does curl -i http://localhost:8000/api/orders/... prompt
+  me to supply a Uri in Windows PowerShell?'
+sort_order: 6

+
+In Windows PowerShell 5.1, `curl` is an alias for PowerShell's `Invoke-WebRequest`, not the real `curl` executable. As a result, flags like `-i` don't behave like they do on Linux/macOS. With real curl, `-i` prints the response status line and headers along with the body.
+
+Fixes:
+- Call the real `curl` explicitly:
+
+```powershell
+curl.exe -i http://localhost:8000/api/orders/standard-1002
+```
+
+- Or use PowerShell's command directly:
+
+```powershell
+Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://localhost:8000/api/orders/standard-1002
+```
+
+Note: On PowerShell 7 and later, `curl` is no longer the `Invoke-WebRequest` alias.
