1 Long: fail-early 2 Help: Fail on first transfer error, do not continue 3 Added: 7.52.0 4 --- 5 Fail and exit on the first detected transfer error. 6 7 When curl is used to do multiple transfers on the command line, it will 8 attempt to operate on each given URL, one by one. By default, it will ignore 9 errors if there are more URLs given and the last URL's success will determine 10 the error code curl returns. So early failures will be "hidden" by subsequent 11 successful transfers. 12 13 Using this option, curl will instead return an error on the first transfer 14 that fails, independent of the amount of URLs that are given on the command 15 line. This way, no transfer failures go undetected by scripts and similar. 16 17 This option is global and does not need to be specified for each use of --next. 18 19 This option does not imply --fail, which causes transfers to fail due to the 20 server's HTTP status code. You can combine the two options, however note --fail 21 is not global and is therefore contained by --next. 22
