An alternate approach would be to just tell curl to follow redirects.
From the curl manpage:
-L/--location
(HTTP/HTTPS) If the server reports that the requested
page has a
different location (indicated with the header line
Location:)
this flag will let curl attempt to reattempt the get
on the new
place. If used together with -i/--include or -I/--
head, headers
from all requested pages will be shown. If
authentication is
used, curl will only send its credentials to the
initial host,
so if a redirect takes curl to a different host, it
won't inter-
cept the user+password. See also --location-trusted
on how to
change this.
However, there is a reason why this is off by default, and that is
security. So it should be well considered before we just add -L to
the command line list of curl...
Cheers,
Max
