cURL a URL and follow redirects

curl

$ curl -L ${url}

The command "curl -L ${url}" is a curl command used for making HTTP requests to a specified URL. Here's a breakdown of each component:

"curl": This is the command-line tool used for making network requests in various protocols, including HTTP. It allows you to send and receive data using different methods.
"-L": This is a curl option that instructs it to follow any redirects. In other words, if the specified URL returns a redirect response (status code 3xx), curl will automatically follow it to the new location.
"${url}": This is a placeholder for the URL you want to make the request to. You need to replace "${url}" with the actual URL you want to access. For example, if you want to make a request to "https://example.com", you would replace "${url}" with "https://example.com".

Overall, this command can be used to fetch the content of a URL, including any redirects, by utilizing the curl tool's capabilities.
