--verbose

Makes curl verbose during the operation. Useful for debugging and seeing what's going on under the hood. A line starting with > means header data sent by curl, < means header data received by curl that is hidden in normal cases, and a line starting with * means additional info provided by curl.

If you only want HTTP headers in the output, --include or --dump-header might be more suitable options.

If you think this option still does not give you enough details, consider using --trace or --trace-ascii instead.

Note that verbose output of curl activities and network traffic might contain sensitive data, including usernames, credentials or secret data content. Be aware and be careful when sharing trace logs with others.
