CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS man page

## NAME

CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS - set protocols allowed to redirect to

## SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS, long bitmask);

## DESCRIPTION

Pass a long that holds a bitmask of CURLPROTO_* defines. If used, this bitmask limits what protocols libcurl may use in a transfer that it follows to in a redirect when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. This allows you to limit specific transfers to only be allowed to use a subset of protocols in redirections.

By default libcurl will allow all protocols on redirect except several disabled for security reasons: Since 7.19.4 FILE and SCP are disabled, and since 7.40.0 SMB and SMBS are also disabled. CURLPROTO_ALL enables all protocols on redirect, including those disabled for security.

These are the available protocol defines:

    CURLPROTO_DICT
    CURLPROTO_FILE
    CURLPROTO_FTP
    CURLPROTO_FTPS
    CURLPROTO_GOPHER
    CURLPROTO_HTTP
    CURLPROTO_HTTPS
    CURLPROTO_IMAP
    CURLPROTO_IMAPS
    CURLPROTO_LDAP
    CURLPROTO_LDAPS
    CURLPROTO_POP3
    CURLPROTO_POP3S
    CURLPROTO_RTMP
    CURLPROTO_RTMPE
    CURLPROTO_RTMPS
    CURLPROTO_RTMPT
    CURLPROTO_RTMPTE
    CURLPROTO_RTMPTS
    CURLPROTO_RTSP
    CURLPROTO_SCP
    CURLPROTO_SFTP
    CURLPROTO_SMB
    CURLPROTO_SMBS
    CURLPROTO_SMTP
    CURLPROTO_SMTPS
    CURLPROTO_TELNET
    CURLPROTO_TFTP

## DEFAULT

All protocols except for FILE, SCP and since 7.40.0 SMB and SMBS.

## PROTOCOLS

All

## EXAMPLE

    curl = curl_easy_init();
    if(curl) {
      /* pass in the URL from an external source */
      curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, argv[1]);

      /* only allow redirects to HTTP and HTTPS URLs */
      curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS,
                       CURLPROTO_HTTP | CURLPROTO_HTTPS);

      /* Perform the request */
      curl_easy_perform(curl);
    }

## AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.19.4, before then it would follow all protocols.

## RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
