How to pass CURL options to CLI?

[abhinavsohani]

I am using the MediaInfo CLI on AWS Lambda, and while it works as expected for most cases, it fails for certain URLs with the error message "Maximum (3) redirects followed". To resolve this issue, I need to pass the --max-redirs <num> option to the underlying CURL request.

I have attempted to use the --file_curl option like this: --file_curl=--max-redirs 50, but it did not work as expected.

It would be great if there was a way to pass CURL options directly to the MediaInfo CLI, allowing for more flexibility and control over the HTTP requests made by the tool.

we can not map automatically curl command line options to libcurl API because the curl option are part of curl command line, so we need to manually map them one per one :( (or find a way to get a list from the lib).
A single option is not difficult to add, accepting all of them longer.

I apologize if I am hijacking this issue and can create a new one if necessary, but I am facing a similar problem and was hoping for some additional information to help me move forward.

Is there any information about how to use the File_Curl option in general? I am having trouble figuring out the right format to pass to the option function in libmediainfo.
