CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL(3)  curl_easy_getinfo options CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL(3)

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've asked libcurl to follow redirects, it may very
       well not be the same value you set with _URL&section=3">CURLOPT_URL(3).

       The urlp pointer will be NULL or pointing to private memory you MUST
       NOT free - it gets freed when you call _easy_cleanup&section=3">curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the
       corresponding CURL handle.

PROTOCOLS
       HTTP(S)

EXAMPLE
       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);
         }
