--follow

Instructs curl to follow HTTP redirects and to do the custom request method set with --request when following redirects as the HTTP specification says.

The method string set with --request is used in subsequent requests for the status codes 307 or 308, but may be reset to GET for 301, 302 and 303.

This is subtly different than --location, as that option always set the custom method in all subsequent requests independent of response code.

Restrict which protocols a redirect is accepted to follow with --proto-redir.
