Problem
I'm trying to print just the verbose sections of a cURL request (which are sent to ) from the bash shell. But when I redirect like this: Some sort of results table appears in the middle of the output to : Followed by this near the end: Which makes the response headers less readable. I don't see this text when not redirecting. Another way to see the effects: Table doesn't appear: Table appears: How come this shows up only with certain types of redirects? What's the neatest way to suppress it?
