- switch all invidual files documenting command line options into .md, as the documentation is now markdown-looking. - made the parser treat 4-space indents as quotes - switch to building the curl.1 manpage using the "mainpage.idx" file, which lists the files to include to generate it, instead of using the previous page-footer/headers. Also, those files are now also .md ones, using the same format. I gave them underscore prefixes to make them sort separately: _NAME.md, _SYNOPSIS.md, _DESCRIPTION.md, _URL.md, _GLOBBING.md, _VARIABLES.md, _OUTPUT.md, _PROTOCOLS.md, _PROGRESS.md, _VERSION.md, _OPTIONS.md, _FILES.md, _ENVIRONMENT.md, _PROXYPREFIX.md, _EXITCODES.md, _BUGS.md, _AUTHORS.md, _WWW.md, _SEEALSO.md - updated test cases accordingly Closes #12751

# `--location`
|
|
|
|
If the server reports that the requested page has moved to a different
|
|
location (indicated with a Location: header and a 3XX response code), this
|
|
option makes curl redo the request on the new place. If used together with
|
|
--include or --head, headers from all requested pages are shown.
|
|
|
|
When authentication is used, curl only sends its credentials to the initial
|
|
host. If a redirect takes curl to a different host, it does not get the
|
|
user+password pass on. See also --location-trusted on how to change this.
|
|
|
|
Limit the amount of redirects to follow by using the --max-redirs option.
|
|
|
|
When curl follows a redirect and if the request is a POST, it sends the
|
|
following request with a GET if the HTTP response was 301, 302, or 303. If the
|
|
response code was any other 3xx code, curl resends the following request using
|
|
the same unmodified method.
|
|
|
|
You can tell curl to not change POST requests to GET after a 30x response by
|
|
using the dedicated options for that: --post301, --post302 and --post303.
|
|
|
|
The method set with --request overrides the method curl would otherwise select
|
|
to use.
