The \fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3)\fP option automatically follows HTTP
redirects sent by a remote server. These redirects can refer to any kind of
URL, not just HTTP. libcurl restricts the protocols allowed to be used in
-redirects for security reasons: only HTTP, HTTPS and FTP are enabled by
-default. Applications may opt to restrict thus set further.

A redirect to a file: URL would cause the libcurl to read (or write) arbitrary
files from the local filesystem. If the application returns the data back to
libcurl limits what protocols it automatically follows to. The accepted
protocols are set with \fICURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS(3)\fP. By default libcurl
