Can you name any other client software which supports this in URLs? Wget, curl, browsers, ftp clients, media players - none do. For that reason *no one* uses link-local addresses for HTTP. Set yourself up some ULA range[1], and better yet, assing some DNS names so you don't have to use bare IPs in URLs (which too, can be a complicated issue with curl). If you still want link-locals to work, in case of approx you likely need to complain to curl, since that's what it uses under-the-hood for HTTP.
