Saving to a file or stderr depending on the HTTP response code seems like a 
very specific use case to me. A little too specific for my taste.

It can probably be accomplished with a 4-line shell script wrapper:

curl --fail-with-body -o save http://example.com
if test "$?" -eq "22"; then
   cat save >&2
   rm save
fi
