- Nis Jorgensen filed bug report #1338648

  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1338648) which really is more of a

  feature request, but anyway. It pointed out that --max-redirs did not allow

  it to be set to 0, which then would return an error code on the first

  Location: found. Based on Nis' patch, now libcurl supports CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS

  set to 0, or -1 for infinity. Added test case 274 to verify.

- tommink[at]post.pl reported in bug report #1337723

  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1337723) that curl could not upload

  binary data from stdin on Windows if the data contained control-Z (hex 1a)

.IP "--max-redirs <num>"

Set maximum number of redirection-followings allowed. If \fI-L/--location\fP

is used, this option can be used to prevent curl from following redirections

\&"in absurdum".

\&"in absurdum". By default, the limit is set to 50 redirections. Set this

option to -1 to make it limitless.

If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.

.IP "-0/--http1.0"

.SH NAME

curl_easy_setopt - set options for a curl easy handle

.SH SYNOPSIS

Pass a long. The set number will be the redirection limit. If that many

redirections have been followed, the next redirect will cause an error

(\fICURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS\fP). This option only makes sense if the

\fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION\fP is used at the same time.

\fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION\fP is used at the same time. Added in 7.15.1:

Setting the limit to 0 will make libcurl refuse any redirect. Set it to -1 for

an infinite number of redirects (which is the default)

.IP CURLOPT_PUT

A non-zero parameter tells the library to use HTTP PUT to transfer data. The

data should be set with \fICURLOPT_READDATA\fP and \fICURLOPT_INFILESIZE\fP.

  if (data->set.maxredirs &&

  if ((data->set.maxredirs != -1) &&

      (data->set.followlocation >= data->set.maxredirs)) {

    failf(data,"Maximum (%d) redirects followed", data->set.maxredirs);

    return CURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS;

    data->set.infilesize = -1; /* we don't know any size */

    data->set.postfieldsize = -1;

    data->set.maxredirs = -1; /* allow any amount by default */

    data->state.current_speed = -1; /* init to negative == impossible */

    data->set.httpreq = HTTPREQ_GET; /* Default HTTP request */
