SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

14       Pass  in  a  pointer  to a char pointer and get the last used effective
15       URL.
16
17       In cases when you have asked libcurl to follow redirects, it may not be
18       the same value you set with CURLOPT_URL(3).
19
20       The  urlp  pointer  will be NULL or pointing to private memory you MUST
21       NOT free - it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the cor‐
22       responding CURL handle.
