- Long: location

- Protocols: HTTP
- Category: http
- Example: -L $URL

- 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 if the request is a POST, it will send 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 POST requests to GET after a 30x response by
- using the dedicated options for that: --post301, --post302 and --post303.
- The method set with --request overrides the method curl would otherwise select
- to use.
