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  have  asked  libcurl to follow redirects, it may 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);
       }
