  4.6. Can you tell me what error code 142 means?

  All error codes that are larger than the highest documented error code means

  that curl has existed due to a timeout. There was no nice way for curl to

  abort from such a condition and that's why it got this undocumented

  error. This should not occur in releases after 7.4.1.

  that curl has exited due to a crash. This is a serious error, and we

  appriciate a detailed bug report from you that describes how we could go

  ahead and repeat this!

  4.7. How do I keep user names and passwords secret in Curl command lines?
