Hi,

I have tried to redirect stderr output to stdout doing
something like

curl --stderr - -O http://www.something.com/ > output

At the end I get the progress meters headers in the 'output'
file but the numbers themselves are shown in the console
instead of getting into the file as I expected.

Looking at the progress.c file where the progress meter is
calculated, where it says:

  fprintf(stderr,
          "\r%3d %s %3d %s %3d %s %s %s %s %s %s %s",
          (int)total_percen, /* total % */
...............................

Shouldn't it be?

  fprintf(data->err,
          "\r%3d %s %3d %s %3d %s %s %s %s %s %s %s",
          (int)total_percen, /* total % */
...........................................................

Or am I getting the wrong idea?

Andres
