[ CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION ]

Method

Used with [curl->set]. A value of 1 means that curl should follow any Location: header that the server sends as a part of an HTTP header.

This means that the library will re-send the same request on the new location and follow new Location: headers all the way until no more such headers are returned. [curlopt_maxredirs] can be used to limit the number of redirects curl will follow.

It is possible to limit what protocols to follow using [curlopt_redir_protocols].

For more information see respective method.

  • Syntax
curl->set(CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1)
Examples
  • Beginner

To make an curl request and automatically follow Location headers that are returned

The number of cascading redirects that curl will follow are set to 10.

Code

local(c = curl('www.example.com/login'))
#c->set(curlopt_followlocation, 1)
#c->set(curlopt_maxredirs, 10)
#c->result
