# `--location`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the server reports that the requested page has moved to a different
|
||
|
|
location (indicated with a Location: header and a 3XX response code), this
|
||
|
|
option makes curl redo the request on the new place. If used together with
|
||
|
|
--include or --head, headers from all requested pages are shown.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When authentication is used, curl only sends its credentials to the initial
|
||
|
|
host. If a redirect takes curl to a different host, it does not get the
|
||
|
|
user+password pass on. See also --location-trusted on how to change this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Limit the amount of redirects to follow by using the --max-redirs option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When curl follows a redirect and if the request is a POST, it sends the
|
||
|
|
following request with a GET if the HTTP response was 301, 302, or 303. If the
|
||
|
|
response code was any other 3xx code, curl resends the following request using
|
||
|
|
the same unmodified method.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can tell curl to not change POST requests to GET after a 30x response by
|
||
|
|
using the dedicated options for that: --post301, --post302 and --post303.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The method set with --request overrides the method curl would otherwise select
|
||
|
|
to use.
