Hello, First of all thanks you so much for making life easier for so many developers in the world by giving them libCurl and Curl. Secondly I have a query regarding "CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION" option of curl
I am using WebKit/WebView in the combination with libCurl. I trap in all the HTTP request and serve them through curl. when I launch say http://google.com it sends back redirct status code and location. and my Webkit/WebView would just a very tirny page where user has manually click to go to the redirected page. While the desired behaviour would be that it would behave just like a browser and follow redirects. I foudn out that there is some option like "CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION" but when I use it. curl only gets the responseHeader alone from redirected location and not the responsebody. Is there any option that I could use to get the response Body as well of redirected location? or do I have to handle the redirection myself? I think I am missing something here, there must be some option to get the response body also while follwing the redirection using "CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION" but, otherwise what would one use "CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION" option for? I read following post of yours http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.curl.library/9064 here author mentions following: "When you set CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, you ask libcurl to follow locations and then it provides the body of the final page and not from any of those that contain the Location: headers. That's a design decision I made many eons ago." I am not great at english but to me it looks like he meant that it will return the response body of redirected location, thats actually what i want( but its not working for me)\ In the same thread author also mentions "If you want the full bodies, don't ask libcurl to follow the redirects but handle that yourself." Here it looks contradictory to my previous understanding of "when you set CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION" What is this option "CURLOPT_REDIRBODIES" thats being talked about in some places. I htink I have the latest version of libCurl. But this option is not there. -Arif
