wget: don't follow redirects

--max-redirect 0

I haven't tried this, it will either allow none or allow infinite..

Use curl without -L instead of wget. Omitting that option when using curl prevents the redirect from being followed.

If you use curl -I <URL> then you'll get the headers instead of the redirect HTML.

If you use curl -IL <URL> then you'll get the headers for the URL, plus those for the URL you're redirected to.

linux http bash redirect wget

Some versions of wget have a --max-redirect option: See here
