curl

    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.
