Curl doesn't return anything

Question

I have a web app hosted at A.B.C.D:5601 and when I try curl A.B.C.D:5601 it doesn't print out anything on the screen however when I open the same link using a browser it does open the webapp. But it gets forwarded to A.B.C.D:5601/foo/bar and it opens fine.

Here is the output of curl -v

*   Trying A.B.C.D:5601...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to A.B.C.D port 5601 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1

Why is curl not giving me the response back?

Answer 1

Curl is telling you you are being redirected to /spaces/enter.

You can tell Curl to automatically follow redirects:

curl -vL [url]
