23 .TH CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL 3 "June 24, 2017" "libcurl 7.59.0" "curl_easy_getinfo options"
26 CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL \- get the URL a redirect would go to
28 #include <curl/curl.h>
30 CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL, char **urlp);
32 Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the URL a redirect \fIwould\fP
33 take you to if you would enable \fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3)\fP. This can come
34 very handy if you think using the built-in libcurl redirect logic isn't good
35 enough for you but you would still prefer to avoid implementing all the magic
36 of figuring out the new URL.
38 This URL is also set if the \fICURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3)\fP limit prevented a
39 redirect to happen (since 7.54.1).
44 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
47 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
48 res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
51 curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL, &url);
53 printf("Redirect to: %s\\n", url);
55 curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
61 Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
