Hi folks,

Im trying to use a REST service which returns with HTTP/1.1 201 along
with the Location of the new resource after a POST request.
Unfortunately, I cannnot write out (-w, redirect_url) the value, so does
not work --location to automatically download that resource:
> $ curl --verbose -X POST --upload-file file.zip https://.../rest/documents --negotiate -u : -H "Content-Type: application/zip"
> * Trying ......
> * TCP_NODELAY set
> * Connected to ... (...) port 8448 (#0)
> * ALPN, offering http/1.1
> ...
> * SSL certificate verify ok.
>> POST .../rest/documents HTTP/1.1
>> Host: ...
>> User-Agent: curl/7.60.0
>> Accept: */*
>> Content-Type: application/zip
>> Content-Length: 918
>> Expect: 100-continue
>>
> ...
> < HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
> * We are completely uploaded and fine
> < HTTP/1.1 201
> < Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2018 13:00:25 GMT
> < X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
>
> < Location: https://.../rest/documents/6667f88a-5783-11e8-857e-001f29e7988e
> < Content-Length: 0
> <
> * Closing connection 0
> * TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS alert, Client hello (1):

The reason is
https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/5ae22272d1506e5c0e431f4ad60f1dc446f76715/lib/http.c#L3821-L3825.

Curl always assumes the Location header is for redirects (3xx) only and
not for 2xx operations.

Is there a reason to still have this resriction these days? Do you need
another switch to explicit opt out from this?

I am on:
