CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL(3)   Library Functions Manual   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 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


RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION
       if not.
