How can I prevent `curl` from printing a table with progress information?

  • 772

From 16.04 command line:

$ ssh [email protected] "curl http://192.168.8.5/tstat"
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:--  0:00:01 --:--:--     0{"temp":68.00,"tmode":2,"fmode":0,"override":0,"hold":0,"t_cool":82.00,"program_mode":1,"tstate":0,"fstate":0,"time":{"day":5,"hour":1100   164    0   164    0     0    101      0 --:--:--  0:00:01 --:--:--   101

Why is the speed table returned and how can this be surpressed?

ssh curl

  1. The Progress Meter can be silenced with the -s / --silent option:

    ssh [email protected] "curl -s http://192.168.8.5/tstat"
# or
ssh [email protected] "curl --silent http://192.168.8.5/tstat"
