in reply to Problem calling WWW::Mechanize redirect_ok

In the Www::Mechanize documents, you see that redirect_ok() is an over loaded method of LWP::UserAgent. If you look LWP::UserAgent docs you will find the following

$ua->redirect_ok( $prospective_request, $response ) This method is called by request() before it tries to follow a red +irection to the request in $response. This should return a TRUE value + if this redirection is permissible. The $prospective_request will be + the request to be sent if this method returns TRUE. The base implementation will return FALSE unless the method is in +the object's requests_redirectable list, FALSE if the proposed redire +ction is to a "file://..." URL, and TRUE otherwise.

Hope this helps!
