[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

Is there a way to ask curl to tell me is a url exists without
downloading it if it does?


Many thanks,

$ curl -f http://example.com/non-exists
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found

Perfect. Just look for the 404

Thank you!

Adding --head to it keep it from downloading if
the file exists

$ curl --fail --head http://example.com/non-exists
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found

Since I am calling this from a Perl 6 module, $? is
zero for exists and not zero for fail. So,

if $RtnCode = 0 { return 1; } else { return 0; }

0 is false and 1 is true in Perl 6

I would try to add --silent

***@aleks-PC ~
$ curl --silent --fail --head -o /dev/null http://gbis.com/ll ; echo $?
22

***@aleks-PC ~
$ curl --silent --fail --head -o /dev/null http://gbis.com/ ; echo $?
0
