How can I suppress the headers from CLI CURL's

Question

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

when all I really want is this:

{"code":"jkhjhhjhaa","state":null}

Answer 1

In order to suppress output from CURL CLI --silent option can be used. It perfectly works when curl output is piped as well.

-s, --silent        Silent mode (don't output anything)

Answer 2

I had same problem using -vvvv option. Don't use it if you doesn't want it to be verbose.

Answer 3

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...
