| Write the received protocol headers to the specified file. |
| |
| This option is handy to use when you want to store the headers that an HTTP |
| site sends to you. Cookies from the headers could then be read in a second |
| curl invocation by using the --cookie option! The --cookie-jar option is a |
| better way to store cookies. |
| |
| If no headers are received, the use of this option will create an empty file. |
| |
| When used in FTP, the FTP server response lines are considered being "headers" |
| and thus are saved there. |
| |
| If this option is used several times, the last one will be used. |
