CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL(3)  Library Functions Manual  CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL(3)

NAME
       CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL - get the last used URL

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL, char **urlp);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass in a pointer to a char pointer and get the last used effective
       URL.

       In cases when you have asked libcurl to follow redirects, it may not be
       the same value you set with CURLOPT_URL(3).

       The urlp pointer is NULL or points to private memory. You MUST NOT free
       - it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding
       CURL handle.

PROTOCOLS
       HTTP

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           CURLcode res;
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
           res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
           if(res == CURLE_OK) {
             char *url = NULL;
             curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL, &url);
             if(url)
               printf("Redirect to: %s\n", url);
           }
           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
       }
