Curl incosistent behaviour – CLI vs Java process

Trying to grab HTML for ttps://www.target.com.au/ with cUrl

This works ok via command-line:

xxx@VirtualBox:~/workspace/$ /usr/bin/curl -L -v -k -i -H "Accept: text/html" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/75.0.3770.100 Safari/537.36" --max-time 10 https://www.target.com.au/ > target

* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to www.target.com.au (23.0.111.198) port 443 (#0)
* ALPN, offering h2
* ALPN, offering http/1.1
.....

This always fail via Java:

    InputStream is = null;
    try {
        String command = "/usr/bin/curl -L -v -k -i -H \"Accept: text/html\" -H \"User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/75.0.3770.100 Safari/537.36\" --max-time 10 " + url;
        System.out.println(command);
        Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
        is = process.getInputStream();
        String body = IOUtils.toString(is, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
        return body;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        IOUtils.closeQuietly(is);
    }

OUTPUT:

/usr/bin/curl -L -v -k -i -H “Accept: text/html” -H “User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/75.0.3770.100 Safari/537.36” –max-time 10 https://www.target.com.au/
