- Fail fast with no output at all on server errors. This is useful to enable
- scripts and users to better deal with failed attempts. In normal cases when an
- HTTP server fails to deliver a document, it returns an HTML document stating
- so (which often also describes why and more). This flag will prevent curl from
- outputting that and return error 22.
- This method is not fail-safe and there are occasions where non-successful
- response codes will slip through, especially when authentication is involved
- (response codes 401 and 407).
