CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL(3)   Library Functions Manual   CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL(3)

NAME
       CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL - 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
       implementing all the magic of figuring out the new URL.

       This URL is also set if the CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3) limit prevented a
       redirect to happen (since 7.54.1).

PROTOCOLS
       This functionality affects http only

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           CURLcode result;
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
           result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
           if(result == 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
