.SH NAME
CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL \- get the URL a redirect would go to
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL, char **urlp);
.fi
.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 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 \fICURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3)\fP limit prevented a redirect to
happen (since 7.54.1).
.SH PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects http only
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
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);
  }
}
.fi
