Summary: Silent command still produces output

Initial Comment:
Using an extracted curl-7.19.7-ssl-sspi-zlib-static-bin-w32.zip on Windows XP SP2:
>curl --version
curl 7.19.7 (i386-pc-win32) libcurl/7.19.7 OpenSSL/0.9.8l zlib/1.2.3
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap http file https ftps
Features: Largefile NTLM SSL SSPI libz

The silent command still produces output

curl --silent http://www.google.com
or
curl -s www.google.com

produces the HTML of the page.

Message:
That's exactly how curl is designed to work. The silent option just means
that curl says nothing extra apart from doing its transfer output. Doing
"curl -s www.google.com" without putting the output somewhere is just...
pointless!
