The command you used seems to be incorrect. Copy the following: 

 curl -0 http://openhatch.org/missions/diffpatch/diffsingle/nutty-pancake.txt -o original.txt

Note it's

curl -0(zero) [url of remote file] -o(small O) output-file.

The zero tells curl to use http1.0 and the small oh is used to save the file to an output file.

Thanks for your excellent response here, @Deborah-Digges :D

I think that this error can have also the cause where curl gets unknown switch. For example you use -retry instead of --retry.
