How to follow redirects with cURL?

To follow redirects with cURL, you can use the -L or --location flag. This flag tells curl to follow any redirection response from the server.

Here is an example command:

Replace <URL> with the actual URL you want to access. By default, curl will follow up to 50 redirects, but you can change this limit by using the --max-redirs option followed by the maximum number of redirects to follow.

This command will follow up to 10 redirects.

By using the -I or --head flag, you can retrieve only the headers and check if the server has responded with any redirection information.

Note that when curl follows a redirect, it will not show the content of the redirected page unless the -L or --location flag is used.
