Annotation of embedaddon/curl/docs/cmdline-opts/location.d, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       misho       1: Long: location
                      2: Short: L
                      3: Help: Follow redirects
                      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.
