How To Follow Redirect using cURL

Using -l or --location one can follow redirects using cURL. Let’s understand it with a real-world example.

				
					curl -L http://scrapingdog.com

Initial URL was http://scrapingdog.com.
Scrapingdog issues a 301 redirect with the Location header pointing to https://scrapingdog.com.
Final URL is https://scrapingdog.com.

If you need HTTP headers in the output then you can use -i option of cURL.

				
					curl -L -i http://scrapingdog.com
