How do I pipe or redirect the output of curl -v?

Question

add the -s (silent) option to remove the progress meter, then redirect stderr to stdout to get verbose output on the same fd as the response body

curl -vs google.com 2>&1 | less

Your URL probably has ampersands in it. I had this problem, too, and I realized that my URL was full of ampersands (from CGI variables being passed) and so everything was getting sent to background in a weird way and thus not redirecting properly. If you put quotes around the URL it will fix it.

The answer above didn't work for me, what did eventually was this syntax:

curl https://${URL} &> /dev/stdout | tee -a ${LOG}

tee puts the output on the screen, but also appends it to my log.

If you need the output in a file you can use a redirect:

curl https://vi.stackexchange.com/ -vs >curl-output.txt 2>&1

Please be sure not to flip the >curl-output.txt and 2>&1, which will not work due to bash's redirection behavior.

Just my 2 cents. The below command should do the trick, as answered earlier

curl -vs google.com 2>&1

However if need to get the output to a file,

curl -vs google.com > out.txt 2>&1

should work.
