When I try and retrieve the effective URL from one that is redirected, but I do curlopt_nobody set to true - it returns a different effective URL than one if I set nobody to false.
Then the server obviously is presenting you different Location: headers depending on the request method. GET vs HEAD.
Is that how it's supposed to work?
libcurl shows you what the server says. That's what it is supposed to do.
I need the one that is retrieved with nobody set to false, but I don't want to retrieve the whole file. Can you help?
How about stopping the transfer immediately after the headers have been received?
