Set the cURL CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION option to true:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

Will will instruct cURL to follow any "Location: " headers that the server sends. More info available in the documentation.

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: http://www.google.co.in/

tells you to go to http://www.google.co.in/ for the content, so you have to do another cURL sequence there.
