Nis Jorgensen filed bug report #1338648
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1338648) which really is more of a feature request, but anyway. It pointed out that --max-redirs did not allow it to be set to 0, which then would return an error code on the first Location: found. Based on Nis' patch, now libcurl supports CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS set to 0, or -1 for infinity. Added test case 274 to verify.

.SH NAME
curl_easy_setopt - set options for a curl easy handle
.SH SYNOPSIS
@@ -516,7 +516,9 @@ option is meaningful only when setting \fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION\fP.
Pass a long. The set number will be the redirection limit. If that many
redirections have been followed, the next redirect will cause an error
(\fICURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS\fP). This option only makes sense if the
-\fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION\fP is used at the same time.
+\fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION\fP is used at the same time. Added in 7.15.1:
+Setting the limit to 0 will make libcurl refuse any redirect. Set it to -1 for
+an infinite number of redirects (which is the default)
.IP CURLOPT_PUT
A non-zero parameter tells the library to use HTTP PUT to transfer data. The
data should be set with \fICURLOPT_READDATA\fP and \fICURLOPT_INFILESIZE\fP.
