The set number will be the redirection limit \fIamount\fP. 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(3)\fP is used at the same time. Setting the limit to 0 will make libcurl refuse any redirect. Set it to -1 for an infinite number of redirects. .SH DEFAULT -1, unlimited .SH PROTOCOLS HTTP(S) .SH EXAMPLE .nf curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com/"); /* enable redirect following */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L); /* allow three redirects */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 3L); /* Perform the request */ curl_easy_perform(curl); } .fi .SH AVAILABILITY Along with HTTP .SH RETURN VALUE Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION "(3), "
