That's not a task, but the (failed) output of it.

Since you didn't post your actual task, I will guess that you're
downloading a ZIP file, but forgot to escape the spaces in the URL:

visser@cajones:~$ curl -I

"https://backstage.forgerock.com/downloads/OpenDJ/OpenDJ
Enterprise/3.0.0/OpenDJ 3 Zip/OpenDJ-3.0.0.zip"

HTTP/1.0 200 Connection established

HTTP/1.0 400 Bad request
Cache-Control: no-cache

Compare this to:

visser@cajones:~$ curl -I
"https://backstage.forgerock.com/downloads/OpenDJ/OpenDJ%20Enterprise/3.0.0/OpenDJ%203%20Zip/OpenDJ-3.0.0.zip"

However, this isn't a file but instead a web page asking to sign in.
With valid credentials that might work, but it could also be that the
server want something more fancy than basic auth.
It's up to you to find that out.
If that happens, you'd probably have to store a cookie first.

Note that your URL initially gets redirected to HTTPS - you might want
to use that to start with.
