On systems where it works, curl will hide the given option argument from
|
|
|
|
|
process listings. This is not enough to protect credentials from possibly
|
|
|
|
|
getting seen by other users on the same system as they will still be visible
|
|
|
|
|
for a brief moment before cleared. Such sensitive data should be retrieved
|
|
|
|
|
from a file instead or similar and never used in clear text in a command line.
