NAME
http_setRedirects - Sets the number of HTTP redirects HTTP Fetcher will
automatically follow.
SYNOPSIS
#include <http_fetcher.h>
void http_setRedirects(int redirects);
DESCRIPTION
When HTTP Fetcher receives a response header with a status code of 3XX, it will
automatically follow the associated 'Location:' field, if any. redirects
is the maximum number of redirects to follow before returning an error.
To disable redirects, pass a 0. The default is to follow 3 redirects.
Under this implementation (which is just a stopgap, really) the caller won't
be aware of any redirection and will assume the returned document came from the
original URL it requested. Future releases (2.x.x) will improve on this poor
design.
RETURN VALUE
http_setRedirects returns no value and should always succeed.
