# `--follow`
|
|
|
|
Instructs curl to follow HTTP redirects and to do the custom request method
|
|
set with --request when following redirects as the HTTP specification says.
|
|
|
|
The method string set with --request is used in subsequent requests for the
|
|
status codes 307 or 308, but may be reset to GET for 301, 302 and 303.
|
|
|
|
This is subtly different than --location, as that option always set the custom
|
|
method in all subsequent requests independent of response code.
|
|
|
|
Restrict which protocols a redirect is accepted to follow with --proto-redir.
