What are the consequences of executing the curl command to access a web server in the Linux operating system?

When executing the curl command in Linux, an HTTP request is sent to the specified web server and a response is received. As a result:

• A TCP connection is established with the server at the specified address and port.
• An HTTP request (GET, POST, etc.) is sent.
• The server processes the request and returns an HTTP response.
• curl outputs the response content (for example, an HTML page) to the console or saves it to a file.

This allows checking server availability, retrieving data, or testing an API. For example, the command curl https://example.com will output the HTML code of the main page of example.com.
