Quieter output on check-status

[peruzzof]

What enhancement would you like to see?
I would like to disable all warnings when using --check-status together with --quiet (that is the behaviour prior to issue #1026 ). It can be implemented as another flag (--quieter or --no-warnings)

What problem does it solve?
I am using a script with some failing scenarios being handled by the return code and I prefer a cleaner output, without the warnings.

Provide any additional information, screenshots, or code examples below:

Is this something that we want to implement? I know I would like this and I can work on it.

@peruzzof what is your use case? Could you provide an example?

It seems it could be solved by redirecting stderr to /dev/null:

$ http --check-status --quiet pie.dev/status/500 2>/dev/null

[peruzzof]

¥es, it is possible to redirect stderr to /dev/null.
I am using in a shell script with other commands in a while loop, redirecting the stderr is possible but doesnt look nice.

OK I see. We would be happy to improve the situation then.

@dkreeft if you are motivated, we thought about allowing to repeat --quiet to force silencing all output.

Example:

# Current behavior, it should not be changed
$ http --check-status --quiet pie.dev/status/500 

__main__.py: warning: HTTP 500 Internal Server Error

$ echo $?
5

# New behavior
# http --check-status --quit --quiet pie.dev/status/500 
$ http --check-status -qq pie.dev/status/500
$ echo $?
5

We already have an option that can be repeated: --compress. The implementation should be quite similar :)

@BoboTiG @peruzzof great! Thanks for the fast replies, will try to work on this in the coming days.

Done in #1175. Thanks again @dkreeft 💪
