  • -H --header Extra header to use when getting a web page. You may specify any number of extra headers

  • -O --remote-name Write output to a local file named like the remote file we get (only the file part of the remote file is used, the path is cut off)

  • -L --location 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
