-D, --dump-header <file>
Write the protocol headers to the specified file.
This option is handy to use when you want to store the headers
that a HTTP site sends to you. Cookies from the headers could
then be read in a second curl invocation by using the -b,
--cookie option! The -c, --cookie-jar option is however a better
way to store cookies.
y
-S, --show-error
When used with -s, --silent, it makes curl show an error message if it fails.
y
-L/--location
(HTTP/HTTPS) If the server reports that the requested page has moved to a different location (indicated with a Location: header and a 3XX response
code), this option will make curl redo the request on the new place. If used together with -i/--include or -I/--head, headers from all requested
pages will be shown. When authentication is used, curl only sends its credentials to the initial host. If a redirect takes curl to a different
host, it won’t be able to intercept the user+password. See also --location-trusted on how to change this. You can limit the amount of redirects to
follow by using the --max-redirs option.
When curl follows a redirect and the request is not a plain GET (for example POST or PUT), it will do the following request with a GET if the HTTP
response was 301, 302, or 303. If the response code was any other 3xx code, curl will re-send the following request using the same unmodified
method.

curl -sSL -D - www.acooke.org -o /dev/null
sigue los redireccionamientos, vuelca los encabezados en stdout y envía los datos a / dev / null (eso es un GET, no un POST, pero puede hacer lo mismo con un POST, solo agregue cualquier opción que ya esté utilizando para enviar datos)
tenga en cuenta el -
después de -D
que indica que el "archivo" de salida es stdout.
curl -s -D - http://yahoo.com -o nul
