Hi, Daniel: 

I still can't figure out what is wrong with my usage, both in testing code and 
in command-line.

>From the manpage, it says: 
=====================================
       -D/--dump-header <file>
              Write the protocol headers to the specified file.

              This option is handy to use when you want to store  the  headers
              that  a  HTTP  site sends to you. Cookies from the headers could
              then  be  read  in  a  second  curl  invocation  by  using   the
              -b/--cookie option! The -c/--cookie-jar option is however a bet-
              ter way to store cookies.

              When used in FTP, the FTP server response lines  are  considered
              being "headers" and thus are saved there.

              If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
=====================================
It looks like the option I should use to see the command feedback. 

So, I tried the following:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 qxu XOG_cc 0 Nov 12 17:59 saveHeader.txt
=====================================
You can see the file "saveHeader.txt" is still 0-byte, meaning nothing has been 
saved there.

I have gone over the whole manpage, and didn't find any other option to use. 
Would you shed some more light on this issue?

Thanks,
Xu Qiang
