I’m trying to make a simple Curl to an Laravel app (5.2) running on my machine:

curl -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1" http://192.168.1.65:8000/pt

With this result:

request header (request header):

*   Trying 192.168.1.65...
* Connected to 192.168.1.65 (192.168.1.65) port 8000 (#0)
> GET /pt/ HTTP/1.1
> Host: 192.168.1.65:8000
> Accept: */*
> User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1

I find it very strange, because if you use the python requests library 3.x: 

import requests

headers = {'User-Agent' : 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1'}
req = requests.get('http://192.168.1.65:8000/pt/', headers=headers)
print(req.text)

Already returned to me in reply all the html of the page (this is what is supposed to happen)

PS: I’ve also used the flag -L with my curl to follow the redirects and stay in infinite loop (curl: (47) Maximum (50) redirects followed)

Why does this happen? How to solve, and get to do the request with Curl?

Solved, looks like the requests library (even without using Session()) retain cookies and place them in the redirect request header, in which case it is the language cookie ..../pt that, by the app design, it is always mandatory to exist and by default PT. The problem is that the Curl following the redirect did not put this cookie in the request header, resulting in an infinite loop of redirects, that is, the correct command so that with curl work out is:

curl -c cookies.txt -A 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0' -Lv http://192.168.1.65:8000/pt

Where I am saving cookies set on reply headers to a file to use in the next redirect as well

Or, I can also set the cookie manually, without needing a file:

curl -A 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0' -b lang=pt http://192.168.1.65:8000/pt
