Web Tools Add on (TA-webtools): Curl command sends error when incorrect arguments are provided

When an invalid argument is passed in I see error:
command="curl", bad operand type for unary +: 'str'

This happens for example if I do:

| curl method=get

I already have an answer so will answer it for the author to fix, this is version 1.2.6

The issue is actually tiny, line 140 is missing a \ character so:

     "timeout=30 ]" 

Should be:

    + "timeout=30 ]" \

Thanks!
