This functionality affects all supported protocols

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if(res == CURLE_OK) {
      long redirects;
      curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_REDIRECT_COUNT, &redirects);
    }
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
