CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS - maximum number of redirects allowed
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, long amount);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. The set number will be the redirection limit amount. If that many redirections have been followed, the next redirect will
cause an error (CURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS). This option only makes sense if the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3) is used at the same time.
Setting the limit to 0 will make libcurl refuse any redirect.
Set it to -1 for an infinite number of redirects.
DEFAULT
-1, unlimited
PROTOCOLS
HTTP(S)
EXAMPLE
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com/");
/* enable redirect following */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
/* allow three redirects */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 3L);
/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY
Along with HTTP
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
