.TH CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL 3 "November 04, 2020" "libcurl 7.77.0" "curl_easy_getinfo options"
.SH NAME
CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL \- get the URL a redirect would go to
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL, char **urlp);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the URL a redirect \fIwould\fP
take you to if you would enable \fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3)\fP. 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 \fICURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3)\fP limit prevented a
redirect to happen (since 7.54.1).
.SH PROTOCOLS
HTTP(S)
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
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);
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.18.2
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
