Question

How can I verify a website is redirecting?

 

Answer

Curl is a great utility to verify that a domain is redirecting. Here's an example:

 

$ curl -ilv domain.com
* Trying 112.113.114.115...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected todomain.com (112.113.114.115) port 80 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host:domain.com
> User-Agent: curl/7.64.1
> Accept: */*
