Useful for debugging and seeing 15 what's going on "under the hood". A line starting with '>' means "header data" 16 sent by curl, '<' means "header data" received by curl that is hidden in 17 normal cases, and a line starting with '*' means additional info provided by 18 curl. 19 20 If you only want HTTP headers in the output, --include or --dump-header might 21 be more suitable options. 22 23 If you think this option still does not give you enough details, consider using 24 --trace or --trace-ascii instead. 25 26 Note that verbose output of curl activities and network traffic might contain 27 sensitive data, including user names, credentials or secret data content. Be 28 aware and be careful when sharing trace logs with others. 29
