CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3) | Library Functions Manual | CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3) |
NAME¶
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS - maximum number of redirects allowed
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, long amount);
DESCRIPTION¶
Pass a long. The set number is the redirection limit amount. If that many redirections have been followed, the next redirect triggers the error (CURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS). This option only makes sense if the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3) is used at the same time.
Setting the limit to 0 makes libcurl refuse any redirect.
Set it to -1 for an infinite number of redirects. This allows your application to get stuck in never-ending redirect loops.
DEFAULT¶
30 (since 8.3.0), it was previously unlimited.
PROTOCOLS¶
HTTP
EXAMPLE¶
int main(void) {
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://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);
} }
AVAILABILITY¶
Along with HTTP
RETURN VALUE¶
Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
