-f/--fail
(HTTP) Fail silently (no output at all) on server
errors. This is mostly done like this to better enable
scripts etc to better deal with failed attempts. In
normal cases when a HTTP server fails to deliver a doc
ument, it returns a HTML document stating so (which
often also describes why and more). This flag will pre
vent curl from outputting that and fail silently
instead.
