Possibility to disable FOLLOWLOCATION (curl) #12

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It's not always useful to follow location redirects (301 or 302) because
some pages are using redirects instead of sending a 404 code if a page
doesn't exist, so the:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

could cause problems.

For example:

http://www.dozentenscout.de/Mitglieder/details/Andrea-Kutschan
http://www.dozentenscout.de/Mitglieder/details/Andrea-Kutsch

The second URL results a various user from the home-page, so it would be
helpful to control this mechanism for example by an attribute. Like the
following for example:

public $follow_location = true; // should curl follow the location redirects
