  1. Long: location
  2. Short: L
  3. Help: Follow redirects
  4. Protocols: HTTP
  5. ---
  6. If the server reports that the requested page has moved to a different
  7. location (indicated with a Location: header and a 3XX response code), this
  8. option will make curl redo the request on the new place. If used together with
  9. --include or --head, headers from all requested pages will be shown. When
  10. authentication is used, curl only sends its credentials to the initial
  11. host. If a redirect takes curl to a different host, it won't be able to
  12. intercept the user+password. See also --location-trusted on how to change
  13. this. You can limit the amount of redirects to follow by using the
  14. --max-redirs option.
  15. When curl follows a redirect and the request is not a plain GET (for example
  16. POST or PUT), it will do the following request with a GET if the HTTP response
  17. was 301, 302, or 303. If the response code was any other 3xx code, curl will
  18. re-send the following request using the same unmodified method.
  19. You can tell curl to not change the non-GET request method to GET after a 30x
  20. response by using the dedicated options for that: --post301, --post302 and
  21. --post303.
