CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL(3)  Library Functions Manual  CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL(3)

NAME
       CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL -	get the	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 gets freed 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 res;
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
	   res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
	   if(res == 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).
