How to use CURL over SSH and get the file as well as the return value?

I want to load a file from a clients webserver. This webserver is running local only. To get there I have to use ssh. I need the content as well as the return value (e.g. SSH connection broke, webserver down).

What do I have to change? My first try:

#!/bin/bash

RETURN=0
CONTENT=""

sshpass -p xxxxxx ssh [email protected] "curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:10000/status -H 'Content-Type: application/json' > $CONTENT | bash; RETURN=$?"

If you want to get the exit code of curl and the return value of curl:

#!/bin/bash

CONTENT=$(sshpass -p xxxxxx ssh [email protected] "curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:10000/status -H 'Content-Type: application/json'")

RETURN=$?

echo "$RETURN, $CONTENT"

In your script you set the variables on the server you ssh'ed into.
