Angel, I doubt that he meant to store something other than the "log"
messages in something he named ".log".

I suspect that he's just trying to post some data to the specified link,
which isn't expected to provide a real response, which is why he finds
the resulting "trigger" file useless. -O- > NUL (or perhaps just -O NUL)
ought to do the trick, once he's doing that.
