I'm trying to use curl the mentioned way via Windows' WSL. It only partially works - the summary is correct, but the compound values are all zeros. Ideas why?

     time_namelookup: 0.000000s
         time_connect: 0.000000s
     time_appconnect: 0.000000s
     time_pretransfer: 0.000000s
       time_redirect: 0.000000s
   time_starttransfer: 0.000000s
   ----------
   time_total: 0.001618s

that output can happen if you're trying to curl a nonexistent URL.

Can you paste the command you're using to get that output?

My mistake, I left the $ sign before the URL by accident. Yesterday was late when I was trying that and I made a noob mistake.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. With the $ problem corrected, everything works perfect.
