--etag-save

Save an HTTP ETag to the specified file. An ETag is a caching related header, usually returned in a response. Use this option with a single URL only.

If no ETag is sent by the server, an empty file is created.

Starting in curl 8.12.0, using the --create-dirs option can also create missing directory components for the path provided in --etag-save.
