How can I find where I will be redirected using cURL?

Question

I\'m trying to make curl follow a redirect but I can\'t quite get it to work right. I have a string that I want to send as a GET param to a server and get the resulting URL.

Sometimes you need to get HTTP headers but at the same time you don't want return those headers.**

This skeleton takes care of cookies and HTTP redirects using recursion. The main idea here is to avoid return HTTP headers to the client code.

You can build a very strong curl class over it. Add POST functionality, etc.
