Given an ip address/domain name, I wish to get the final URL where the browser would land, after all the redirects that may happen to the address/domain name.

For example, if I had typed "bru01s01-in-f103.1e100.net" in the browser, it would have led me to "http://www.google.co.in/". I would like to have this Google URL as the result of a Curl command.

Well, I could type it in the browser, but that's not what I want. Eventually, I am looking for this action, to find the final redirected URL for a long list of ip addresses. If I can get curl do this for a single one, I can work out how to do it for a list.

How to accomplish this with Curl ?

I know I might be being shameless here, but I request if someone can write a sample line of command to do just the above. Instead of just mentioning what parameters to be try out and how ? I have tried some -e, -I, -L etc, and doesn't seem to get it right. Not a commandpromptuous guy :).

I am running curl from the windows command prompt on Windows XP Professional as Administrator. No problems running curl, and the sample command "curl http://curl.haxx.se" works just fine.

Thanks for your time.
Regards
Sri
