Automatically add newline at end of curl response body as default setting

Question

Can you configure curl with a dotfile to automatically print responses with the -w '\n' flag?

In the documentation at https://www.mit.edu/afs.new/sipb/user/ssen/src/curl-7.11.1/docs/curl.html, it is stated, that there is in fact a .curlrc (or _curlrc on windows - but I'll assume you're on linux).

So, in order to do what you want, create a file ~/.curlrcand add the following line: -w '\n'. That's it.

See https://curl.se/docs/manual.html for more examples.
