That was a typo in my message. I used curl_easy_getinfo, but it
prints "\270", instead of the value of currentURL.

New Code:

        int connect (const char* aURL)
        {
                char *currentURL;
                CURL *urlHandler;
                curl_easy_setopt(urlHandle, CURLOPT_URL, aURL);
                curl_easy_perform(urlHandle);
                curl_easy_getinfo(urlHandle, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL, currentURL);
                printf ((const char*)currentURL);
        }
