libcurl does not work with http redirect

I developed an application that use libcurl as a http client.

I tried to conncet to a HTTP server, the server return http redirect to another address, but the libcurl do nothing after receiving the http redirect.

What I m missing?

my code:

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USERNAME, userid);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PASSWORD, passwd);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC|CURLAUTH_DIGEST);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, header_list);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, HTTP_TIMEOUT);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, HTTP_TIMEOUT);

here after the traffic log:

You also need to set the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION flag to tell curl to automatically follow redirects:

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
