  1. Surround your URL with ' marks:

    curl --user "user:pass" -v 'http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/incomeStatement/detail?stmtType=INC&perType=INT&symbol=GG'

  2. Surround your URL with " marks:

    curl --user "user:pass" -v "http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/incomeStatement/detail?stmtType=INC&perType=INT&symbol=GG"

  3. Escape the & characters:

    curl --user "user:pass" -v http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/incomeStatement/detail?stmtType=INC\&perType=INT\&symbol=GG
