Curl to return http status code along with the response

Question

I use curl to get http headers to find http status code and also return response. I get the http headers with the command

curl -I http://localhost
         


        

Answer 1

I have used this :

    request_cmd="$(curl -i -o - --silent -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'Authorization: _your_auth_code==' 'https://example.com')"

To get the HTTP status

    http_status=$(echo "$request_cmd" | grep HTTP |  awk '{print $2}')
    echo $http_status

To get the response body I've used this

    output_response=$(echo "$request_cmd" | grep body)
    echo $output_response
