To quote the docs:

        Pass a pointer to a 'char *' to receive the last used effective URL.

It means you get the last URL libcurl tried to fetch. If you followed
locations, it is the last one libcurl followed to. Any suggestion on a
better, more explanatory description for the manual is welcome.

This is wrong.

'url' above is not "a pointer to a 'char *'".

Try something like this:

        char *url = NULL;
        curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL, &url);
