Subject: "Was I just redirected?"
OUTGOING to andy via aim: I think I didn't see an easy way to ask "was I redirected?" Also, the documentation that says that if you want to do complex things with forms, you should be reading up on HTML::Form might want to be a bit clearer. I spent a bunch of time figuring out how to find out what fields my forms had. andy [aim] "Was I just redirected" Instereing. andy [aim] Send mail to bug-www-mechanize willya please? --

FWIW: I'd love to have this feature too. To be most useful to me it'd be able to return a list of the URLs that redirected and which HTTP status they were redirected with. - ask

$mech->get("http://boy-do-i-redirect.com"); if ($mech->was_redirected()) { my @redirections = $mech->redirect_urls; ... } As a start, anyway. --- Joe M.
