CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3)	   Library Functions Manual	  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS - maximum number of redirects allowed

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode	curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, long amount);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass  a	long.  The set number is the redirection limit amount. If that
       many redirections have been followed, the next  redirect	 triggers  the
       error  (CURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS).  This	option only makes sense	if the
       CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3) is used at the	same time.

       Setting the limit to 0 makes libcurl refuse any redirect.

       Set it to -1 for	an infinite number of redirects. This allows your  ap-
       plication to get	stuck in never-ending redirect loops.

DEFAULT
       30 (since 8.3.0), it was	previously unlimited.

PROTOCOLS
       This functionality affects http only

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
	 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
	 if(curl) {
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");

	   /* enable redirect following	*/
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);

	   /* allow three redirects */
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 3L);

	   /* Perform the request */
	   curl_easy_perform(curl);
	 }
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Added in	curl 7.5

RETURN VALUE
       curl_easy_setopt(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).
