Get Status Code

curl -I -X GET example.com

Output:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Age: 570148

Do note this does not work in combination with: --data/-d.

Warning: You can only select one HTTP request method! You asked for both POST Warning: (-d, –data) and HEAD (-I, –head).

Instead you should use: --data-raw/-D, then you can POST data and get the status code at the same time.
