Re: Behavior of -D and -c options in curl

Daniel,
Thanks for that reply.
I see that the older versions(7.9.8 the oldest one I have) of curl read from the headers file without -b .
But the newer versions(7.14) do require -b. I observed this in case of 2 or 3 redirects.
Am I correct ? If yes, what was the need of such a change.
Can I know what is the additional information stored with -c?
Is only the additional information that makes -c more preferable than -D
Also, in case of -L does -c forces all the cookies to be written at the end of all redirects?Does -D dumps for each URL or at the end of handling all the URLs?
thanks,
Imran

-D dumps headers and does not include all the details about cookies that -c
will. -D dumps headers to it will contain all info that the headers includes,
while -c writes cookies.

-c

-L does in no way change their behaviours.
