Seeking help with a curl command in a bash script - SOLVED (lemmy.thewooskeys.com)

I've got this command in a bash script:

TEST=$(curl -o /dev/null -s -k -w "%{http_code}" -u "${USERNAME}:${PASSWORD}" "${URL}/dashboard/")
echo "${TEST}" #debug

When the script runs, the output is "000".

When I run the same curl command from the shell, the output is "200" (which is correct, since the URL is valid).

I verified that the USERNAME, PASSWORD, and URL vars are being passed to the subshell.

I'd appreciate it if you could point out what I'm doing wrong here. :)

UPDATE: This has been solved.

Here is the result of the script curling a known good URL (it still results in exit code 7 and thus a result of "000"), followed by a copy-paste of the curl command run in the shell (exited with "200"):

$ ./test.sh
curl -o /dev/null -s -k -w "%{http_code}" "https://i0.wp.com/www.notquitezen.co/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Is-Happiness-an-Emotion.png"
previous exit code: 7
000
$
$ curl -o /dev/null -s -k -w "%{http_code}" "https://i0.wp.com/www.notquitezen.co/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Is-Happiness-an-Emotion.png"
