        !             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: 
        !            16: When curl follows a redirect and if the request is a POST, it will do the
        !            17: following request with a GET if the HTTP response was 301, 302, or 303. If the
        !            18: response code was any other 3xx code, curl will re-send the following request
        !            19: using the same unmodified method.
        !            20: 
        !            21: You can tell curl to not change POST requests to GET after a 30x response by
        !            22: using the dedicated options for that: --post301, --post302 and --post303.
        !            23: 
        !            24: The method set with --request overrides the method curl would otherwise select
        !            25: to use.
