Doesn't work. You need the comma a separator within {...}. But even
http://xkcd.com{`seq -s, 1 327`}
doesn't work, because the output of Command Substitution is not
reevaluated for more shell syntax. You instead would need to generate
the supposed command line, and then use the eval builtin to have the
shell evaluate it again:
eval http://xkcd.com/\{$(seq -s, 1 327)\}
Of course, if you're using bash, then
http://xkcd.com/{1..327}
will do the job without all the messy syntax or the external program.
How about that. This thread is on-topic after all. ;-)
