Since "too old" versions are no longer included in the generated man page, this field is now mandatory so that it won't be forgotten and then not included in the documentation. Closes #7786

Fail silently (no output at all) on server errors. This is mostly done to
|
|
enable scripts etc to better deal with failed attempts. In normal cases
|
|
when an HTTP server fails to deliver a document, it returns an HTML document
|
|
stating so (which often also describes why and more). This flag will prevent
|
|
curl from outputting that and return error 22.
|
|
|
|
This method is not fail-safe and there are occasions where non-successful
|
|
response codes will slip through, especially when authentication is involved
|
|
(response codes 401 and 407).
