#829 when no data is given, file output keep old values
del deleteme
curl http://www.willemijns.com/ -o deleteme
type deleteme
pause
> OK i see data of www.willemijns.com
curl http://dns-will-never-exist.willemijns.com/ -o deleteme
type deleteme
pause
> The file output stays to www.willemijns.com :-( in fact the file "deleteme" is not deleted when they are no output
data to write.... logically the file "deleteme" will never exist (because request is false) and must be empty when request begins ;)

First, don't change priority on bugs since that field is for bug tracker admins.
Then, you're experiencing a feature that we've made an effort to make curl do. If you prefer not having a file after a failure, delete the file yourself before asking curl to get it.
