CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION
php
Solution
Quoting from docs:
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION `TRUE` to follow any "Location: " header that the server sends as part of the HTTP header (note this is recursive, PHP will follow as many "Location: " headers that it is sent, unless `CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS` is set).
When you request a URL, you can sometimes be redirected to some other URL. In PHP it'd be done with:
header('Location: http://example.com/');
This directive instructs CURL to load that URL instead of the original one, as HTTP mandates. There's normally no good reason to disable it.
Problem
I looked up google for more information. But the more I read, the more I am confused or wonder I understand that `CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION()` follows "the location", but what is the location? Is it the url that is initialized? ``` curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false); ``` I only need to post data into icontact mailing list - so would this snippet above prevent the data from going in the mailing list? I printed `$result` and see that the data went in the correct mailing list although I cannot see whether the data are the correct ones which are from form.
