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

       TODO

AVAILABILITY

       Added in 7.4

       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
