When I do the same request to an url, where the response will have an status code 400, I will get an error that will be prompted to the shell and the file will be empty:

curl -is https://foursquare.com/oauth2/access_token?grant_type=authorization_code&client_id=SOME_CLIENT_ID&client_secret=SOME_CLIENT_SECRET&code=notavalidcode&redirect_uri=SOME_REDIRECT_URI > temp.txt

Is there a way to prompt the result to a file also if I get an status code 400?

    wrap the url with "

    kent$  curl -is "https://foursquare.com/oauth2/access_token?grant_type=authorization_code&client_id=SOME_CLIENT_ID&client_secret=SOME_CLIENT_SECRET&code=notavalidcode&redirect_uri=SOME_REDIRECT_URI" > temp.txt

kent$  cat temp.txt
