Description

Sets the redirect policy.
Pass a bitmask to control how libcurl acts on redirects after POSTs that get a 301 or 302 response back. A parameter with bit 0 set (value CURL_REDIR_POST_301) tells the library to respect RFC 2616/10.3.2 and not convert POST requests into GET requests when following a 301 redirection. Setting bit 1 (value CURL_REDIR_POST_302) makes libcurl maintain the request method after a 302 redirect. CURL_REDIR_POST_ALL is a convenience define that sets both bits.

The non-RFC behavior is ubiquitous in web browsers, so the library does the conversion by default to maintain consistency. However, a server may require a POST to remain a POST after such a redirection. This option is meaningful only when setting CURL.SetOptionFollowLocation. (This option was known as CURLOPT_POST301 up to 7.19.0 as it only supported the 301 way before then)
