I am using mechanize to scrape and I know that mechanize goes to the  
url a browser would redirect me to. However is there some way to  
capture what this new url is?

ex: [abcd.com](http://abcd.com) ----------------redirected to ---------------------\>  
[xyz.com](http://xyz.com)  
how can I use mechnize to find [xyz.com](http://xyz.com) given [abcd.com](http://abcd.com)?

Thanks!

I think I’m right in saying that:

agent = WWW::Mechanize.new  
page = agent.get(‘[http://abcd.com](http://abcd.com)’)  
puts page.uri.to\_s  
#=\> “[http://xyz.com](http://xyz.com)”

Could be wrong, though. Give it a try.
