Hello,

I’m trying to grab some info off [www.yellowbook.com](http://www.yellowbook.com) for a specific city.

While testing a simple program to just grab the index page i couldnt  
manage to get it working. Here’s what i have so far.

http = Net::HTTP.new(‘[www.yellowbook.com](http://www.yellowbook.com)’, 80)  
res = http.send\_request(‘GET’, ‘/’)  
p res.body

I get a object moved page all the time. I tested it with my browser  
and it works perfectly. Could anyone kindly point what im doing wrong  
here? Perhaps this method is not appropriate for this task…

Thanks,

Ricardo Amorim

I think your browser is automatically handling the “object moved”  
response and issuing a second request to the new URL.

Your client code will either have to parse the response and make a new  
request if it gets a “moved” response, or you can just use that new URL  
as the the starting point.
