Download file with url redirection

bash, curl, download, url, wget

Solution

Use `-L, --location` to follow redirects:

$ curl -L http://httpbin.org/redirect/1

Problem

I can download a file by url but when I try it from bash I get a html page instead of a file. How to download file with url redirection (301 Moved Permanently) using curl, wget or something else? UPD Headers from the url request. curl -I http://www.somesite.com/data/file/file.rar ``` HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Date: Sat, 07 Dec 2013 10:15:28 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.10-1ubuntu3 Location: http://www.somesite.com/files/html/archive.html Vary: Accept-Encoding Content-Type: text/html X-Pad: avoid browser bug ```
