Description

downloadFile runs curl -Ls -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} url to get any redirected url.
this downloads the entire file to /dev/null (when fetching an image, can be ~400MB)
on a slow connection, it can time out; thus subverting the next call to curl with the ability to continue a (slow/failed) download

curl version: 8.7.1 (also tested 8.9.1)

a bit of searching+testing suggests to add -I to only download the headers:
curl -s -L -I -o /dev/null -w '%{url_effective}' url
