CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL(3) Library Functions Manual CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL(3) NAME CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL - last used URL SYNOPSIS #include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL, char **urlp); DESCRIPTION Pass in a pointer to a char pointer and get the last used effective URL. In cases when you have asked libcurl to follow redirects, it may not be the same value you set with CURLOPT_URL(3). The urlp pointer is NULL or points to private memory. You must not free it. It memory gets freed automatically when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding curl handle. PROTOCOLS This functionality affects http only EXAMPLE int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode result; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L); result = curl_easy_perform(curl); if(result == CURLE_OK) { char *url = NULL; curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL, &url); if(url) printf("Redirect to: %s\n", url); } curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } } AVAILABILITY Added in curl 7.4 RETURN VALUE curl_easy_getinfo(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
