Right. Adding complexity in libcurl rather than adding the logic in the application. I don't quite see why it is simpler in libcurl than in the app though.
Reading CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL would be too late for that purpose as the url is already fetched when that info is available.
Why is that too late? There won't be any difference in how much data that is downloaded and connections will be re-used to the exact same extent...
Note also that you call the callback a bit early so your callback won't get the same absolute URL CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL does.
