GET doesnt seem to work in this case

Ruby

Hello,

I’m trying to grab some info off 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’, 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.
