Re: Problem calling WWW::Mechanize redirect_ok

[mikeock]

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!

Could you give me anymore clues please?! Sorry I'm probably being dim, but I'm struggling to pick out the answer!

If I comment out the redirect_ok line, I get a page in the browser saying

Found
The document has moved here.

where the text 'here' is a link to the site I want to redirect to.

Thanks for anymore help!

I wish I could give you further information, but I just browsed through the docs once I saw your question... Sorry

Check out the docs for LWP::UserAgent and see what the variables are that are being called
