I would rather say it like this:
The *web server* returns a random URL for the target file.

libcurl is not a magician, it just delivers to the client what the server
responds. In this case it seems the server does some round robin or something
and delivers different Location: URLs for different requests.
libcurl doesn't know anything about where the target URL may exist, only the
server knows that and it apparently delivers one of them for each request.
