<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p class="level0">Pass a bitmask to control how libcurl acts on redirects after POSTs that get a 301, 302 or 303 response back. A parameter with bit 0 set (value <span Class="bold">CURL_REDIR_POST_301</span>) tells the library to respect <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">RFC 2616</a>/10.3.2 and not convert POST requests into GET requests when following a 301 redirection. Setting bit 1 (value <span Class="bold">CURL_REDIR_POST_302</span>) makes libcurl maintain the request method after a 302 redirect whilst setting bit 2 (value <span Class="bold">CURL_REDIR_POST_303</span>) makes libcurl maintain the request method after a 303 redirect. The value <span Class="bold">CURL_REDIR_POST_ALL</span> is a convenience define that sets all three bits.
<p class="level0">The non-RFC behaviour is ubiquitous in web browsers, so the library does the conversion by default to maintain consistency. However, a server may require a POST to remain a POST after such a redirection. This option is meaningful only when setting <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION.html">CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION</a>. <a name="DEFAULT"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">DEFAULT</h2>
