Once the output is redirected to &3 it's unbuffered and gone so you can't redirect it further. Try this to get both. By sending the output back to stdout (&1) using process substitution, you can reorder things so the response code is followed by the output. This makes it easy to read the status and body into variables because read gobbles up everything after the status line and stuffs it into the "body" variable. IFS=$'\n' read -r -d '' http_status body < <(curl -s -w "%{http_code}\n" -o >(IFS= read -r -d '' -u0 stdin; printf "%s" "$stdin") $URL)

Is it necessary to close the file descriptor (exec 3>&-) after curl has finished?

The output is in STDOUT, so you should be able to redirect output from the command to anywhere you like just like a regular command. I haven't tested this though.
