CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3) NAME CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS - maximum number of redirects allowed SYNOPSIS #include CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, long amount); DESCRIPTION Pass a long. The set number is the redirection limit amount. If that many redirections have been followed, the next redirect triggers the error (CURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS). This option only makes sense if the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3) is used at the same time. Setting the limit to 0 makes libcurl refuse any redirect. Set it to -1 for an infinite number of redirects. This allows your application to get stuck in never-ending redirect loops. DEFAULT 30 (since 8.3.0), it was previously unlimited. PROTOCOLS This functionality affects http only EXAMPLE int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/"); /* enable redirect following */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L); /* allow three redirects */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 3L); /* Perform the request */ curl_easy_perform(curl); } } AVAILABILITY Added in curl 7.5 RETURN VALUE Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
