curl contains options like '-k' /'--insecure' to allow insecure SSL connections/transfers, is there anything in azure-sdk-for-go or azure go-autorest

In our enterprise, we use Azure AD for the authentification.
I want now to do some curl commands for testing, but the command:
curl -u myuser:mypassword https://www.thewebsite.com -L
doesn't do the trick. Apparently, I'm stuck at the login windows.
Has anyone else a solution to do the Azure authentification from curl?
EDIT: as suggested by #SaiSakethGuduru-MT, adding --ntlm didn't work
I am trying to setup cron job with following url :
wget -O - -q -t 1 https://myexample.com/check/test > /dev/null
but this is not working.
When i am trying to execute this url on web https://myexample.com/check/test
i see message Your connection is not private
You will need a SSL certificate to get rid of that security warning. You could use one generated by letsencrypt (which is free). An alternative way would be to get a SSL certificate through startssl.com (also free). If you just need your cron to run you could use it like this:
/usr/bin/wget --no-check-certificate -O - -q -t 1 https://myexample.com/check/test > /dev/null
Accessing the same link via a web browser, without having a valid SSL certificate will result in a security warning. If you do not want to buy or use a real SSL certificate then you could just use Firefox web browser an add an exception for that website/certificate.
I have tried this, but it is just adding the file to the object storage..
$ curl -i -XPUT -H "X-Auth-Token: AUTH_tkb26239d441d6401d9482b004d45f7259" --data-binary "Created for testing REST client" https://dal05.objectstorage.softlayer.net/v1/AUTH_df0de35c-d00a-40aa-b697-2b7f1b9331a6/container2/folder3/file1.txt
The swift client is an easy way to list/upload/download files on SoftLayer Object storage.

How can I find the publicly available Image IDs on Windows Azure?
I found this related question - Azure: List OS Images
But, the answer requires Windows+PowerShell while I need a way to get it on Linux or REST/
Use the URL specified here:

You'll need to provide a client certificate when sending the request.
If you are using curl on Linux, add the --cert to point to a .pem file (you'll need to upload it to the administrator's management certificate as a .cer file first).
Don't forget to add the x-ms-version header for it to work:
-H "x-ms-version: 2013-03-01"
Here is an example of using curl to get the auto-scale information for a cloud service
curl -H "accept: application/json" -H "x-ms-version: 2013-10-01"
--cert azure-cert.pem $AUTOSCALEURL
I have a situation where the client makes a call through curl to a https url. The SSL certificate of the https url is self signed and therefore curl cannot do certificate validation and fails. curl provides an option -k/--insecure which disables certificate validation.
My question is that on using --insecure option, is the data transfer that is done between client and server encrypted(as it should be for https urls)? I understand the security risk because of certificate validation not being done, but for this question I am only concerned about whether data transfer is encrypted or not.
Yes, the transfered data is still sent encrypted. -k/--insecure will "only make" curl skip certificate validation, it will not turn off SSL all together.
More information regarding the matter is available under the following link:
curl.haxx.se - Details on Server SSL Certificates
It will be encrypted but insecure. If you trust the certificate you should add the certificate to your certificate store instead of connecting insecurely.
