# `--proto-redir`

Limit what protocols to allow on redirects. Protocols denied by --proto are
not overridden by this option. See --proto for how protocols are represented.

Example, allow only HTTP and HTTPS on redirect:

    curl --proto-redir -all,http,https --follow http://example.com

By default curl only allows HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and FTPS on redirects
(added in 7.65.2). Specifying *all* or *+all* enables all protocols on
redirects, which is not good for security.
