I'm trying to use cURL in a script and get it to not show the progress bar.
I've tried the -s
, -silent
, -S
, and -quiet
options, but none of them work.
Here's a typical command I've tried:
curl -s http://google.com > temp.html
I only get the progress bar when pushing it to a file, so curl -s http://google.com
doesn't have a progress bar, but curl -s http://google.com > temp.html
does.

works for curl version 7.19.5 on Ubuntu 9.10 (no progress bar). But if for some reason that does not work on your platform, you could always redirect stderr to /dev/null:
