What are the most useful curl opts you use regularly? or How do you optimize your requests with curl

For auth, I’ve got a slick one: `-H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat token.txt)"`—dynamically grabs my token from a file.

Also, `-I` for HEAD requests when I just need metadata. Fast and clean.

If you’re debugging, `--proxy http://localhost:8080` and funnel through Burp Suite. Game changer.

And yeah, `-sS` is non-negotiable. Noise is the enemy.
