If the server reports that the requested page has moved to a different
|
||
|
location (indicated with a Location: header and a 3XX response code), this
|
||
|
option will make curl redo the request on the new place. If used together with
|
||
|
--include or --head, headers from all requested pages will be shown. When
|
||
|
authentication is used, curl only sends its credentials to the initial
|
||
|
host. If a redirect takes curl to a different host, it won't be able to
|
||
|
intercept the user+password. See also --location-trusted on how to change
|
||
|
this. You can limit the amount of redirects to follow by using the
|
||
|
--max-redirs option.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When curl follows a redirect and the request is not a plain GET (for example
|
||
|
POST or PUT), it will do the following request with a GET if the HTTP response
|
||
|
was 301, 302, or 303. If the response code was any other 3xx code, curl will
|
||
|
re-send the following request using the same unmodified method.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can tell curl to not change the non-GET request method to GET after a 30x
|
||
|
response by using the dedicated options for that: --post301, --post302 and
|
||
|
--post303.
