curl-library

newbie question

Suppose I want to get the effective url for a download. My understanding
is that I do:
getUrl(const std::string & url, std::string results, std::string
effectiveUrl)
        
                ...
                char *newurl = NULL;
                curl_easy_getinfo(curlHandle_, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL,
&newurl);
                effectiveUrl = newurl ;

Now, I don't want to leak. Do I do
delete newurl
Or
free(newurl)
or
curl_free(newurl)
?

I think the last one is right, from the documentation, but I wanted to
be sure.
