REQUEST FULL URL

[alx_benjamin]

HI,

I use curl to fetch www.example.com.
I need curl to give me full path of the fetched URL.

For example if I m fetching www.example.com
I need to return
www.example.com/index.html

Thank you

I'm not sure if that's possible - the web server searches the directory for an index file as per it's configuration and serves it up; it doesn't explicitly return which file it used.

The only way you'd get the exact URL is if the server actually redirected you to a different location (e.g. a 301 or 302 status code).

You are right.

I was hoping server could send Content-Location header but it has to be explicitly specified.

Thanks
