- Deduplicate the logic used by write-out and write-out json.
Rather than have separate writeLong, writeString, etc, logic for
each of write-out and write-out json instead have respective shared
functions that can output either format and a 'use_json' parameter to
indicate whether it is json that is output.
This will make it easier to maintain. Rather than have to go through
two sets of logic now we only have to go through one.
- Support write-out %{errormsg} and %{exitcode} in json.
- Clarify in the doc that %{exitcode} is the exit code of the transfer.
Prior to this change it just said "The numerical exitcode" which
implies it's the exit code of the tool, and it's not necessarily that.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/6544
In particular, these ones can help a user to create its own error
message when one or transfers fail.
writeout: add 'onerror', 'url', 'urlnum', 'exitcode', 'errormsg'
onerror - lets a user only show the rest on non-zero exit codes
url - the input URL used for this transfer
urlnum - the numerical URL counter (0 indexed) for this transfer
exitcode - the numerical exit code for the transfer
errormsg - obvious

Fixes#6199Closes#6207
This commit adds support to generate JSON via the writeout feature:
-w "%{json}"
It leverages the existing infrastructure as much as possible. Thus,
generating the JSON on STDERR is possible by:
-w "%{stderr}%{json}"
This implements a variant of
https://github.com/curl/curl/wiki/JSON#--write-out-json.
Closes#4870
