Curl - Track Web Redirects

Sometimes a page may redirect to another resource.

By default CURL will not follow page redirections. To make CURL follow redirections use the -L option.

curl -v -Ls  -o /dev/null sharewiz.net

• -L Follow redirects
• -s Silent mode. Don't show progress meter or error messages.
• -o FILE Write output to <file> instead of stdout
• -v Verbose

returns:
