Summary: curl -f stops after first error

Initial Comment:
Version:
curl 7.24.0 (i386-pc-win32) libcurl/7.24.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8t zlib/1.2.5
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap pop3 pop3s rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: AsynchDNS GSS-Negotiate Largefile NTLM SSL SSPI libz

When trying to download a group of files with the -f option stops after the first error.

This message appears when a file not found error occurs:
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404

Ah, I wasn't aware of the modified behavior. I'll look into it...

Message:
I expect it to continue with the remaining of elements in the list.

If for example I try to download this list of files:

curl -Of http://www.example.com/dir/file[001-999].txt

And file003.txt does not exist, curl stops and does not continue with the
rest of the files.

Unless this behavior has changed, but version 7.20 used to work this way.

Message:
I'm sorry, but how exactly did you expect it to work? It is documented to
"Fail silently (no output at all) on server errors." and from what I
understand it did exactly that!?
