Add a new line to the result of the curl

Sometimes when we use curl to get result from a url, if the result has no empty line at the end, the next prompt of the terminal will append after the result like below:

[root@localhost ~]$ curl https://essay.y9i.net/ 
OK[root@localhost ~]$

The url will return an OK, and the second command line prompt will append to the end of the result like above.

I want to add a newline to the end of the result, let the new prompt at the separate line.

Solution

we can add -w "\n" option to the curl command like below:

[root@localhost ~]$ curl -w "\n" https://essay.y9i.net/ 
OK 
[root@localhost ~]$
