title: Ruby - net/http - following redirects
body: <p>I've got a URL and I'm using HTTP GET to pass a query along to a page.  What happens with the most recent flavor (in <code>net/http</code>) is that the script doesn't go beyond the 302 response.  I've tried several different solutions; HTTPClient, net/http, Rest-Client, Patron...</p>
  
  <p>I need a way to continue to the final page in order to validate an attribute tag on that pages html.  The redirection is due to a mobile user agent hitting a page that redirects to a mobile view, hence the mobile user agent in the header.  Here is my code as it is today:</p>
  
  <pre><code>require 'uri'
  require 'net/http'
  
  class Check_Get_Page
  
      def more_http
          url = URI.parse('my_url')
          req, data = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url.path, {
          'User-Agent' =&gt; 'Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8H7 Safari/6533.18.5'
          })
          res = Net::HTTP.start(url.host, url.port) {|http|
          http.request(req)
              }
          cookie = res.response['set-cookie']
          puts 'Body = ' + res.body
          puts 'Message = ' + res.message
          puts 'Code = ' + res.code
          puts "Cookie \n" + cookie
      end
  
  end
  
  m = Check_Get_Page.new
  m.more_http
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!</p>
