There's plenty of info on how to prevent curl from showing header information when doing a request for the PHP version, but seemingly nothing for the CLI version.
my request is in the form
curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8' -H 'X-Accept: application/json' -H '-d '{"somedata":"12ihiuhihihed994f63dbef6b012b"}' https://myurl.com/v3/oauth/request
Which works, but returns this:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: private Content-Type: application/json Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:42:11 GMT P3P: policyref="/w3c/p3p.xml", CP="ALL CURa ADMa DEVa OUR IND UNI COM NAV INT STA PRE" Server: Apache/2.2.23 (Amazon) Status: 200 OK X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.20 Content-Length: 54 Connection: keep-alive {"code":"jkhjhhjhaa","state":null}
when all I really want is this:
{"code":"jkhjhhjhaa","state":null}
The procedure to hide curl progress bar is to pass the -s or --silent option to the curl command: Open the terminal application on your Linux/Unix. Type the command (pass -s option to curl to hide progress bar): $ curl -s https://your-dot-com-domain-name-here/ > /tmp/output. html.
Curl by default adds headers such as Content-type and User-agent .
Silent or quiet mode. Don't show progress meter or error messages. Makes Curl mute. It will still output the data you ask for, potentially even to the terminal/stdout unless you redirect it.
To send an HTTP header with a Curl request, you can use the -H command-line option and pass the header name and value in "Key: Value" format. If you do not provide a value for the header, this will remove the standard header that Curl would otherwise send. The number of HTTP headers is unlimited.
Simply remove the -i
switch from your curl
command.
man curl
said :
-i, --include
(HTTP) Include the HTTP-header in the output. The HTTP-header includes things like server-name, date of the document, HTTP-version and more...
In order to suppress output from CURL CLI --silent option can be used. It perfectly works when curl output is piped as well.
-s, --silent Silent mode (don't output anything)
