--fail-early
Fail and exit on the first detected transfer error.
When curl is used to do multiple transfers on the command line, it attempts to operate on each given URL, one by one. By default, it ignores errors if there are more URLs given and the last URL's success determines the error code curl returns. So early failures are "hidden" by subsequent successful transfers.
Using this option, curl instead returns an error on the first transfer that fails, independent of the amount of URLs that are given on the command line. This way, no transfer failures go undetected by scripts and similar.
This option does not imply --fail, which causes transfers to fail due to the server's HTTP status code. You can combine the two options, however note --fail is not global and is therefore contained by --next.
