Is there a way to follow redirects with command line cURL?
Use the location header flag: curl -L <URL>
Set cURL to use local virtual hosts
Actually, curl has an option explicitly for this: –resolve Instead of curl -H ‘Host: yada.com’ http://127.0.0.1/something use curl –resolve ‘yada.com:80:127.0.0.1′ http://yada.com/something What’s the difference, you ask? Among others, this works with HTTPS.

Why is curl truncating this query string?

curl follow location error
The workaround is to implement redirection in PHP code. Here is my own implementation. It has two known limitations: It will force CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER It is incompatible with CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION The code: function curl_exec_follow(/*resource*/ &$ch, /*int*/ $redirects = 20, /*bool*/ $curlopt_header = false) { if ((!ini_get(‘open_basedir’) && !ini_get(‘safe_mode’)) || $redirects < 1) { curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, $curlopt_header); curl_setopt($ch, … Read more
