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 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 implement-
ing all the magic of figuring out the new URL.
This URL is also set if the CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3) limit prevented a re-
direct 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.
