+# `--request-target`
+
+Use an alternative target (path) instead of using the path as provided in the
+URL. Particularly useful when wanting to issue HTTP requests without leading
+slash or other data that does not follow the regular URL pattern, like
+"OPTIONS *".
+
+curl passes on the verbatim string you give it in the request without any
+filter or other safe guards. That includes white space and control characters.
