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 **urlp);
12

DESCRIPTION

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

31         res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
32         if(res == CURLE_OK) {
33           char *url = NULL;
34           curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL, &url);
35           if(url)
36             printf("Redirect to: %s\n", url);
