My access to the Internet seems to be fine. I tested various urls:
url="https://www.wired.co.uk/article/facebook-energy-heating-homes";
###
curlvers=$(curl --version | head -n 1 | awk '{print $2}')
bn=$(basename "${url}")
dt=$(date --utc +%Y%m%d%H%M%S.%N)
ofl="${bn}_${dt}.html"
errs="${bn}_${dt}_curl_${curlvers}_errors.log"
time(
curl --silent --verbose --output "${ofl}" "${url}" 2> "${errs}";
_CURLX=$?
echo "// __ \$_CURLX: |${_CURLX}|" >> "${errs}"
) >> "${errs}"
ls -l "${errs}"; wc -l "${errs}";
ls -l "${ofl}"; wc -l "${ofl}";
