This is because reddit.com and www.reddit.com gets you the http-versions, which both are redirected to https
Try this: curl -sL https://{www.,}reddit.com -o\ /dev/null{,\ } -w "%{time_redirect}\n"
Try this: curl -sL https://{www.,}reddit.com -o\ /dev/null{,\ } -w "%{time_redirect}\n"
So first off what this does is, it expands to the expression:
'-o /dev/null' '-o /dev/null '
curl seems to interpret `'-o /wtf'` as a command to write to the file ` /wtf`, so this only makes sense if you have a directory called ` ` in the folder you're running from.
You can therefore do this correctly with:
-o/dev/null{,}
I would have gone for a simpler loop:
echo -e "sec\tmethod\turl";for url in {https,http}://{www.,}{en.wikipedia.org,{google,reddit,facebook,youtube,netflix,amazon,twitter,linkedin,msn}.com,google.co.in}; do curl -sL "$url" -w "%{time_redirect}\t${url%:}\t${url#//}\n" -o/dev/null; done|sort
Or learn python and port it to python, I could swing it that way.. Cheers.
