NAME

6       CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL - get the URL a redirect would go to
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode  curl_easy_getinfo(CURL  *handle,  CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL, char
12       **urlp);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the URL  a  redirect  would
16       take  you  to  if  you would enable CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3). This can
17       come very handy if you think using the built-in libcurl redirect  logic
18       isn't  good  enough  for you but you would still prefer to avoid imple‐
19       menting all the magic of figuring out the new URL.
20
21       This URL is also set if the CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3) limit prevented a  re‐
22       direct to happen (since 7.54.1).
