I'm using curl
at the command line on Linux to issue HTTP requests. The response bodies are printed to standard out, which is fine, but I can't see from the man page how to get curl to print the HTTP status code from the response (404, 403 etc). Is this possible?
Getting curl to output HTTP status code
curlhttpstatus

This should work for you if the web server is able to respond to HEAD requests (this will not perform a
GET
):As an addition, to let cURL follow redirects (3xx statuses) add -L.
