I read the man page and I understand what -L does, but I still don't understand why the -L is needed in this particular case when the request works ok without it.
Is the user only wanting to curl from the original page and any redirects are considered bad?, etc.
- moviuro 7y agoWhen I tried to open the page on my machine (with chrome) it failed on a host I don't know (advertising.com). So I tried to see what happened: `curl -L` allows me to do that. And yes, this kind of half-assed redirect is breaking, and a total disregard for my trying to trust the original host. This kind of behavior I expect from sites victim of an XSS, not a "normal" website.
