> I noticed that the CURL function will not follow redirects. According to http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html#CURLOPTFOLLOWLOCATION you need to set the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION in order for CURL to follow redirects, and that is not set according to the source code: http://svnview.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk/funcs/func_curl.c?view=markup
> This is especially interesting seeing as how there is a "maxredirs" CURLOPT parameter. According to the CURL documentation at http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html#CURLOPTMAXREDIR :
> "This option only makes sense if the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is used at the same time."
> I suggest that a new CURLOPT parameter "followlocation" be added to add the redirect following feature and fix the currently broken "maxredirs" option.
> ****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******
> Note that this is not a feature request - "maxredirect" (which already exists) is currently broken - and I'm suggesting a way to fix that.
