plucky (3) CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL.3.gz

NAME

       CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL - get the URL a redirect would go to

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  pointer  to  a  char pointer to receive the URL a redirect would take you to if you would enable
       CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3). This can come handy if you think using the built-in libcurl redirect logic  is
       not  good  enough  for you but you would still prefer to avoid implementing all the magic of figuring out
       the new URL.

       This URL is also set if the CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3) limit prevented a redirect to happen (since 7.54.1).

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");
           res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
           if(res == CURLE_OK) {
             char *url = NULL;
             curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL, &url);
             if(url)
               printf("Redirect to: %s\n", url);
           }
           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in curl 7.18.2
