The fix will be in the next version of curl which is scheduled to be
released in one month. Use --silent so that informational messages are
not sent to stdout/stderr.

There is no built-in way to output only some write-out variables as
json, but you could do it yourself for some info variables:

"{\"http_code\": %{http_code}}"

As Daniel said earlier if you output %{json} it contains all name/values
and you parse it. That is the way to do it.

Please stop top-posting.
