Useful for debugging and seeing 24what's going on "under the hood". A line starting with '>' means "header data" 25sent by curl, '<' means "header data" received by curl that is hidden in 26normal cases, and a line starting with '*' means additional info provided by 27curl. 28 29If you only want HTTP headers in the output, --include or --dump-header might 30be more suitable options. 31 32If you think this option still does not give you enough details, consider using 33--trace or --trace-ascii instead. 34 35Note that verbose output of curl activities and network traffic might contain 36sensitive data, including user names, credentials or secret data content. Be 37aware and be careful when sharing trace logs with others. 38
