+.TH CURLOPT_POSTREDIR 3 "19 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_POSTREDIR \- hwo to act on a HTTP POST redirect
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_POSTREDIR,
+ long bitmask);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a bitmask to control how libcurl acts on redirects after POSTs that get a
+301, 302 or 303 response back. A parameter with bit 0 set (value
+\fBCURL_REDIR_POST_301\fP) tells the library to respect RFC2616/10.3.2 and not
+convert POST requests into GET requests when following a 301 redirection.
+Setting bit 1 (value \fBCURL_REDIR_POST_302\fP) makes libcurl maintain the
+request method after a 302 redirect whilst setting bit 2 (value
+\fBCURL_REDIR_POST_303\fP) makes libcurl maintain the request method after a
+303 redirect. The value \fBCURL_REDIR_POST_ALL\fP is a convenience define that
+sets all three bits.
+
+The non-RFC behaviour is ubiquitous in web browsers, so the library does the
+conversion by default to maintain consistency. However, a server may require a
+POST to remain a POST after such a redirection. This option is meaningful only
+when setting \fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3)\fP.
+.SH DEFAULT
+0
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+HTTP
+.SH EXAMPLE
+TODO
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+Added in 7.17.1. This option was known as CURLOPT_POST301 up to 7.19.0 as it
+only supported the 301 then.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
