Use the location header flag:

`curl -L &lt;URL&gt;`

As said, **to follow redirects** you can use the flag `-L` or `--location`:

    curl -L http://www.example.com

But, **if you want limit the number of redirects**, add the parameter `--max-redirs`

&gt;     --max-redirs &lt;num&gt;

&gt;  Set  maximum number of redirection-followings allowed. If `-L`, `--location` is used, this option 
&gt;  can be used to prevent curl from following redirections &quot;in absurdum&quot;. By default, the limit
&gt;   is set to 50 redirections. Set this option to -1 to make it limitless.
&gt;   If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.



I had a similar problem. I am posting my solution here because I believe it might help one of the commenters.

For me, the obstacle was that the page required a login and then gave me a new URL through javascript. Here is what I had to do:

```bash
curl -c cookiejar -g -O -J -L -F &quot;j_username=username&quot; -F &quot;j_password=password&quot; &lt;URL&gt;
```

Note that `j_username` and `j_password` is the name of the fields for my website&#39;s login form. You will have to open the source of the webpage to see what the &#39;name&#39; of the username field and the &#39;name&#39; of the password field is in your case.
After that I go an html file with java script in which the new URL was embedded. After parsing this out just resubmit with the new URL:

```bash
curl -c cookiejar -g -O -J -L -F &quot;j_username=username&quot; -F &quot;j_password=password&quot; &lt;NEWURL&gt;
```



In a React component for a `&lt;select&gt;` menu, I need to set the `selected` attribute on the option that reflects the application state.

In `render()`, the `optionState` is passed from the state owner to the SortMenu component. The option values are passed in as `props` from JSON.

    render: function() {
      var options = [],
          optionState = this.props.optionState;

      this.props.options.forEach(function(option) {
        var selected = (optionState === option.value) ? &#39; selected&#39; : &#39;&#39;;

        options.push(
          &lt;option value={option.value}{selected}&gt;{option.label}&lt;/option&gt;
        );
      });

    // pass {options} to the select menu jsx

However that triggers a syntax error on JSX compilation.

Doing this gets rid of the syntax error but obviously doesn&#39;t solve the problem:

    var selected = (optionState === option.value) ? &#39;selected&#39; : &#39;false&#39;;

    &lt;option value={option.value} selected={selected}&gt;{option.label}&lt;/option&gt;

I also tried this:

    var selected = (optionState === option.value) ? true : false;

    &lt;option value={option.value} {selected ? &#39;selected&#39; : &#39;&#39;}&gt;{option.label}&lt;/option&gt;

Is there a recommended way of solving this?

I want to run a command from a *bash script* which has single quotes and some other commands inside the single quotes and a variable.

e.g. `repo forall -c &#39;....$variable&#39;`


In this format, `$` is escaped and the variable is not expanded.

I tried the following variations but they were rejected:

    repo forall -c &#39;....&quot;$variable&quot; &#39;

    repo forall -c &quot; &#39;....$variable&#39; &quot;

    &quot; repo forall -c &#39;....$variable&#39; &quot;

    repo forall -c &quot;&#39;&quot; ....$variable &quot;&#39;&quot;

If I substitute the value in place of the variable the command is executed just fine.

Please tell me where am I going wrong.

I am testing with the following AngularJS $location. I don&#39;t what&#39;s the problem with this. Just want to check if the redirection is working or not:

**HTML**
      
    &lt;body data-ng-controller=&quot;MainCtrl&quot;&gt;
       Hello {{name}}!
       &lt;button ng-click=&#39;go()&#39;&gt;Go&lt;/button&gt;
    &lt;/body&gt;
**AngularJS code**
    
    var app = angular.module(&#39;location&#39;, []);
       app.controller(&#39;MainCtrl&#39;, function($scope,$routeParams, $location) {
       $scope.name = &#39;World&#39;;
       $scope.go = function() {
       $location.absUrl() = &#39;http://www.google.com&#39;;
       }
    });

Redirect to new Page in AngularJS using $location

So I know this may seem a little strange but I for sake of consistency, I would like all my urls to appear in this form: http://domain.com/page/ So far I have gotten the regular pages working but I cannot seem to get the error pages working properly.

If the user visits a page or directory that does not exist, I would like the browser to hard redirect to: http://domain.com/404/ This directory, however, will not actually exist. The real location of the error page will be under /pages/errors/404.php

Also, although I do not need an exact answer for all the various errors (400, 401, 403, 404, 500), I will be applying whatever method is given to redirect all of these to their &quot;proper&quot; URL&#39;s (eg. http://domain.com/400/ http://domain.com/500/ etc.)

Any ideas?

Rewrite URL after redirecting 404 error htaccess

I&#39;ve been looking through the Python Requests documentation but I cannot see any functionality for what I am trying to achieve. 

In my script I am setting `allow_redirects=True`.

I would like to know if the page has been redirected to something else, what is the new URL.

For example, if the start URL was: `www.google.com/redirect`

And the final URL is `www.google.co.uk/redirected`

How do I get that URL?

I need to do a 301 redirect from example.com to www.example.com using Route 53 (and S3 if necessary). There are a few solutions for similar problems but they either do not address how to [redirect from the apex][1] or they simply [don&#39;t work][2].

When I follow the steps [here][3], Route 53 tells me I can&#39;t add a CNAME to the apex domain. Therefore, I&#39;m stuck in the mud.

This seems dumb simple but Amazon is making it hard. Any help would be appreciated.

How do I redirect a naked (apex) domain to www using Route 53?

I have an angular application with several routes, such as:

    site.com/
    site.com/page
    site.com/page/4

Using angular&#39;s html5 routing mode, these resolve correctly when you click links to them from within the application, but of course are 404 errors when you do a hard refresh. To fix this, I&#39;ve tried implementing a basic htaccess rewrite.

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !OPTIONS
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.html [L]

This works for the angular requests, however when I try to load scripts or make ajax calls within my domain, such as:

    &lt;script src=&quot;/app/programs/script.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

This script doesn&#39;t load - it&#39;s request is redirected and it tries to load the index.html page as the .htaccess thinks it should reroute the request - not knowing that this file does exist and it should load the file instead of redirect. 

Is there any way I can have the htaccess redirect the request to index.html (with the view parameters) only if there is not an actual file that it should resolve to?

I can successfully create a place via `curl` executing the following command:

&lt;!-- language: lang-sh --&gt;

    $ curl -vX POST https://server/api/v1/places.json -d &quot;
      auth_token=B8dsbz4HExMskqUa6Qhn&amp; \
      place[name]=Fuelstation Central&amp; \
      place[city]=Grossbeeren&amp; \
      place[address]=Buschweg 1&amp; \
      place[latitude]=52.3601&amp; \
      place[longitude]=13.3332&amp; \
      place[washing]=true&amp; \
      place[founded_at_year]=2000&amp; \
      place[products][]=diesel&amp; \
      place[products][]=benzin \
    &quot;

The server returns `HTTP/1.1 201 Created`.  
Now I want to store the payload in a JSON file which looks like this:

&lt;!-- language: lang-js --&gt;

    // testplace.json
    {
      &quot;auth_token&quot; : &quot;B8dsbz4HExMskqUa6Qhn&quot;,
      &quot;name&quot; : &quot;Fuelstation Central&quot;,
      &quot;city&quot; : &quot;Grossbeeren&quot;,
      &quot;address&quot; : &quot;Buschweg 1&quot;,
      &quot;latitude&quot; : 52.3601,
      &quot;longitude&quot; : 13.3332,
      &quot;washing&quot; : true,
      &quot;founded_at_year&quot; : 2000,
      &quot;products&quot; : [&quot;diesel&quot;,&quot;benzin&quot;]
    }

So I modify the command to be executed like this:

&lt;!-- language: lang-sh --&gt;

    $ curl -vX POST http://server/api/v1/places.json -d @testplace.json

This fails returning `HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized`. Why?

Is there any way to get curl to decompress a response without sending the Accept-encoding headers in the request?

I&#39;m trying to debug an issue where the order of the Accept-encoding headers may be relevant, but I also need to know what the response is.  If I just send `-H &#39;Accept-encoding: gzip` and the server gzips the response, curl won&#39;t decompress it.

I am trying to change the working directory of my Node.js script when it is run from a bin script. I have something like the following:

    #!/usr/bin/env node
    process.chdir(&#39;/Users&#39;)

When I then run this file with `./bin/nodefile`, it exits, but the working directory of the current shell context has not changed. I have also tried [shelljs][1], but that does not work either.

What is the best way to do this? I understand it&#39;s working but it&#39;s just in a separate process.

I am copying 7.5 GB file to a remote server using *scp* command. At some point in time file transfer breaks and I have to start all over again.

Is the temporary amount of file being transferred completely lost ? Can I somehow restart the transfer from where it has stopped at previous attempt ? If not, is there some standard Unix command line file transfer command for doing that ?

Is there a way to continue broken scp (secure copy) command process in Linux?
