Bob,
I'm not sure if it works on every SPARQL endpoint, but try this:
curl -F 'query=SELECT * WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } LIMIT 3' http://dbpedia.org/sparql
The key is using curl's -F parameter (which takes a key-value pair and
urlencodes the value), and putting the 'query=...' part into quotes.
(This uses HTTP POST instead of GET, so the query becomes not part of
the URL as in the example you gave, but instead is sent in the body of
the HTTP request.)
Best,
Richard
