How can I suppress the headers from CLI CURL's output of request

command-line-interface, curl, rest

Solution

Simply remove the `-i` switch from your `curl` command.

man curl

said :

-i, --include (HTTP) Include the HTTP-header in the output. The HTTP-header includes things like server-name, date of the document, HTTP-version and more...

Problem

There's plenty of info on how to prevent curl from showing header information when doing a request for the PHP version, but seemingly nothing for the CLI version. my request is in the form ``` curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8' -H 'X-Accept: application/json' -H '-d '{"somedata":"12ihiuhihihed994f63dbef6b012b"}' https://myurl.com/v3/oauth/request ``` Which works, but returns this: ``` HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: private Content-Type: application/json Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:42:11 GMT P3P: policyref="/w3c/p3p.xml", CP="ALL CURa ADMa DEVa OUR IND UNI COM NAV INT STA PRE" Server: Apache/2.2.23 (Amazon) Status: 200 OK X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.20 Content-Length: 54 Connection: keep-alive {"code":"jkhjhhjhaa","state":null} ``` when all I really want is this: ``` {"code":"jkhjhhjhaa","state":null} ```
