This option is used together with --retry. + +This option is the "sledgehammer" of retrying. Do not use this option by +default (eg in curlrc), there may be unintended consequences such as sending or +receiving duplicate data. Do not use with redirected input or output. You'd be +much better off handling your unique problems in shell script. Please read the +example below. + +Warning: For server compatibility curl attempts to retry failed flaky transfers +as close as possible to how they were started, but this is not possible with +redirected input or output. For example, before retrying it removes output data +from a failed partial transfer that was written to an output file. 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. |
