By default, it ignores errors if there 23 are more URLs given and the last URL's success determines the error code curl 24 returns. Early failures are "hidden" by subsequent successful transfers. 25 26 Using this option, curl instead returns an error on the first transfer that 27 fails, independent of the amount of URLs that are given on the command 28 line. This way, no transfer failures go undetected by scripts and similar. 29 30 This option does not imply --fail, which causes transfers to fail due to the 31 server's HTTP status code. You can combine the two options, however note --fail 32 is not global and is therefore contained by --next.
