NAME

       CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL - get the last used URL

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL, char **urlp);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass in a pointer to a char pointer and get the last used effective URL.

       In cases when you have asked libcurl to follow redirects, it may not be the same value you
       set with CURLOPT_URL(3).

       The urlp pointer is NULL or points to private memory. You MUST NOT free -  it  gets  freed
       when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding CURL handle.

PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects http only

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           CURLcode res;
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
           res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
           if(res == CURLE_OK) {
             char *url = NULL;
             curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL, &url);
             if(url)
               printf("Redirect to: %s\n", url);
           }
           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
       }
