     -f/--fail

          (HTTP) Fail silently (no output at all) on server
          errors. This is mostly done like this to better enable
          scripts etc to better deal with failed attempts. In
          normal cases when a HTTP server fails to deliver a doc­
          ument, it returns a HTML document stating so (which
          often also describes why and more). This flag will pre­
          vent curl from outputting that and fail silently
          instead.
