I am using the CURL c++ api to get quotes from Yahoo's financial API. The curl api and my code seem to be working fine, however I am getting a "301" redirect message when I tell CURL to visit the url I want. How can I get CURL to follow through to the 301 redirect and get the data I want?
Here is the URL I am using:
http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?e=.csv&s=WSF,WSH&f=b2b3s
Here is the response I am getting:
<HEAD><TITLE>Redirect</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="white" FGCOLOR="black">

<!-- default "Redirect" response (301) -->
</BODY>
Here are my CURL init options
CURL *eh = curl_easy_init();
curl_easy_setopt(eh, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, cb);
curl_easy_setopt(eh, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0L);
curl_easy_setopt(eh, CURLOPT_URL, url);
curl_easy_setopt(eh, CURLOPT_PRIVATE, url);
curl_easy_setopt(eh, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0L);
curl_multi_add_handle(cm, eh);
I didn't post my code, as it is all working, I just need the general method of following through woth the 301's with CURL.
