-f, --fail
(HTTP) Fail silently (no output at all) on server errors. This is mostly done to better enable
scripts etc to better deal with failed attempts. In normal cases when a HTTP server fails to
deliver a document, it returns an HTML document stating so (which often also describes why and
more). This flag will prevent curl from outputting that and return error 22.
This method is not fail-safe and there are occasions where non-successful response codes will slip
through, especially when authentication is involved (response codes 401 and 407).
|
-s, --silent
Silent or quiet mode. Don't show progress meter or error messages. Makes Curl mute.
|
-S, --show-error
When used with -s it makes curl show an error message if it fails.
|
-L, --location
(HTTP/HTTPS) If the server reports that the requested page has moved to a different location
(indicated with a Location: header and a 3XX response code), this option will make curl redo the
request on the new place. If used together with -i, --include or -I, --head, headers from all
requested pages will be shown. When authentication is used, curl only sends its credentials to the
initial host. If a redirect takes curl to a different host, it won't be able to intercept the
user+password. See also --location-trusted on how to change this. You can limit the amount of
redirects to follow by using the --max-redirs option.
When curl follows a redirect and the request is not a plain GET (for example POST or PUT), it will
do the following request with a GET if the HTTP response was 301, 302, or 303. If the response
code was any other 3xx code, curl will re-send the following request using the same unmodified
method.
|
-J, --remote-header-name
(HTTP) This option tells the -O, --remote-name option to use the server-specified Content-
Disposition filename instead of extracting a filename from the URL.
|
-O, --remote-name
Write output to a local file named like the remote file we get. (Only the file part of the remote
file is used, the path is cut off.)
The remote file name to use for saving is extracted from the given URL, nothing else.
Consequentially, the file will be saved in the current working directory. If you want the file
saved in a different directory, make sure you change current working directory before you invoke
curl with the -O, --remote-name flag!
You may use this option as many times as the number of URLs you have.
