However this is not true of data redirected to a | pipe or > file, which are not reset. We strongly suggest don't parse or record output via redirect in combination with this option, since you may receive duplicate data. + +By default curl will not error on an HTTP response code that indicates an HTTP +error, if the transfer was successful. For example, if a server replies 404 +Not Found and the reply is fully received then that is not an error. When +--retry is used then curl will retry on some HTTP response codes that indicate +transient HTTP errors, but that does not include most 4xx response codes such +as 404. If you want to retry on all response codes that indicate HTTP errors +(4xx and 5xx) then combine with --fail. |
