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. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION "(3), " CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS "(3), " |
