CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL(3) curl_easy_getinfo options CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL(3)
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 _FOLLOWLOCATION§ion=3">CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3). This can
come very handy if you think using the built-in libcurl redirect logic
isn't 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 _MAXREDIRS§ion=3">CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3) limit prevented a
redirect to happen (since 7.54.1).
PROTOCOLS
HTTP(S)
EXAMPLE
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 7.18.2
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION
if not.
