[ CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION ]
Used with [curl->set]. A value of 1 means that curl should follow any Location: header that the server sends as a part of an HTTP header.
This means that the library will re-send the same request on the new location and follow new Location: headers all the way until no more such headers are returned. [curlopt_maxredirs] can be used to limit the number of redirects curl will follow.
It is possible to limit what protocols to follow using [curlopt_redir_protocols].
For more information see respective method.
