Suggestion:

curl -fksD - -o /dev/null "$1"

I placed the options before the URL, added -f to cause curl to return a non-0 exitcode for non-200 responses and quoted the variable $1 to prevent globbing, ref: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/SC2086

also keep in mind -k should be used sparingly because you are blindly ignoring invalid certs
