NAME¶
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION - follow HTTP 3xx redirects
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, long enable);
DESCRIPTION¶
A parameter set to 1 tells the library to follow any Location: header that the
server sends as part of a HTTP header in a 3xx response.
This means that libcurl will re-send the same request on the new location and
follow new Location: headers all the way until no more such headers are
returned.
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3) can be used to limit the number of
redirects libcurl will follow.
libcurl can limit to what protocols it will automatically follow. The accepted
protocols are set with
CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS(3) and it excludes the
FILE protocol by default.
DEFAULT¶
0, disabled

RETURN VALUE¶
Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
