Hi All,

Code:

require ‘mechanize’  
@agent = WWW::Mechanize.new  
source=@agent.get(“[http://yahoo.com/](http://yahoo.com/)”)  
puts source # =\> It gives Source code.

NEED:

I entered “[http://yahoo.com/](http://yahoo.com/)” this url in browser , but its goes to  
“[Yahoo Search - Web Search](http://in.yahoo.com/?p=us)”.

I want to get the redirected url. Is there any possibility to get that  
redirected link ?

Expected Example:  
require ‘mechanize’  
@agent = WWW::Mechanize.new  
source=@agent.get(“[http://yahoo.com/](http://yahoo.com/)”)  
puts X=source.GET\_REDIRECTED\_URL #=\> [Yahoo Search - Web Search](http://in.yahoo.com/?p=us)

Thanks in Advance,  
P.Raveendran

Hi All,

I tried

require ‘mechanize’  
@agent = WWW::Mechanize.new  
source=@agent.get(“[http://yahoo.com/](http://yahoo.com/)”)  
puts source.uri #=\> [http://yahoo.com/](http://yahoo.com/)

BUT I Expect like

puts X=source.GET\_REDIRECTED\_URL #=\> [Yahoo Search - Web Search](http://in.yahoo.com/?p=us)
