In step 3 above, I issued a second GET request to http://server/redirect (that is what I understand is the Request-URI). Before, I did not explicitely set the Request-URI to http://server/redirect on that easy handle, because thats already done in step 1 (not explicitely mentioned). I expect the Request URI of the easy handle is not changed somehow internally by libCurl and therefore remains http://server/redirect after I set it explicitely in step 1.

In step 3 above, I expected the same message flow as in step 1 + 2. libCurl first sends the request to http://server/redirect, gets the HTTP 302 again and then sends it automatically to http://server/target. (as you said: no caching behaviour)
But that does not happen due to my observations.
