Let me first mention two blog posts of mine on related topics:

  HTTP Redirects =>
    https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2016/02/18/http-redirects/

  Unnecessary use of curl -X =>
    https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2015/09/11/unnecessary-use-of-curl-x/

> $ curl --verbose --request POST --location 'http://localhost:8000/follow-redirect'
