'How do I update the domain variable of the CHttpRequest with the redirected domain/url in c++

I have the following code in a cpp program I have been asked to update with new urls: The customer facing url doesnt change but the redirect may so I need to get the program to go to the customer facing url and automatically follow the redirect and download the file, but I get the unable to connect error connection cannot be established error code 12005

CHttpRequest httpRequest(DOWNLOAD_DOMAIN, DOWNLOAD_URL, MINIMUM_NORMAL_DOWNLOAD_SIZE);

but the url redirects to another address and this is not being passed so the download fails.

CHttpRequest::CHttpRequest(const std::wstring& domain, const std::wstring& url, const unsigned int minCorrectSize):

    m_url(url),
    m_data(NULL),
    m_dataSize(0),  
    m_session(NULL),
    m_fileSize(0),
    m_connect(NULL),
    m_request(NULL),
    m_domain(domain),   
    m_reportedSize(0),
    m_hProgressBar(NULL),
    m_minCorrectSize(minCorrectSize)
{
}

How do I update the domain variable of the CHttpRequest with the redirected url.

example of the url is -- https://domainname/Download/File/4 the ChttpRequest gives a 302 redirect to a hosted site. https://abcde.blob.core.windows.net/downloads/domainname/filename.zip the redirect

c++redirect
