CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL(3)  curl_easy_getinfo options 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've asked libcurl to follow redirects, it may very
       well not be the same value you set with CURLOPT_URL(3).

       The urlp pointer will be NULL or pointing to private memory you MUST
       NOT free - it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the
       corresponding CURL handle.


PROTOCOLS

       HTTP(S)


EXAMPLE

       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 7.4
