The only current way to do this that I can think of, is to fetch all headers
using the header callback and then parse those yourself to get the full
"chain" of HTTP codes within a series of "Location:" followings.

Then you can use curl_easy_getinfo(CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL) to get the last
used URL.
