Sorry if this gets double-posted:

Is there any way to get net/http to follow a 302 redirect?

Lots of examples in the source; look for it in  
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb  
or somewhere similar on your system.

# === Following Redirection

# 

# require ‘net/http’

# require ‘uri’

# 

# def fetch(uri\_str, limit = 10)

# # You should choose better exception.

# raise ArgumentError, ‘HTTP redirect too deep’ if limit == 0

# 

# response = Net::HTTP.get\_response(URI.parse(uri\_str))

# case response

# when Net::HTTPSuccess then response

# when Net::HTTPRedirection then fetch(response[‘location’],

limit - 1)

# else

# response.error!

# end

# end

# 

# print fetch(‘[http://www.ruby-lang.org](http://www.ruby-lang.org)’)
