I want to see the request headers made by curl
when I am sending a request to the server. How can I check that?

I think curl --verbose/-v
is the easiest. It will spit out the request headers (lines prefixed with ‘>’) without having to write to a file:
$ curl -v -I -H "Testing: Test header so you see this works" http://stackoverflow.com/
