Set CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION to TRUE.

Well, that would at least indicate that it is your usage of libcurl that is
wrong, not the library itself.

You should not use POSTFIELDS if you wanna GET data. POSTFIELDS is for POST
requests. You would need to append that data to the URL string.

The curl command line tool offers the -G options that "converts" post
arguments into a GET, but that is completely client-side and not a library
feature.
