Subject: follow Location header if status == 302
I'm hitting a web server (Tomcat4/Jboss) which sometimes sends back a "Page moved temporarily" (302) page and the new location in the Location header field. It would be cool if this case would result in automatically running a $agent->get($agent->res->header('Location')).

This should be fixed in 0.43.

Hmm, justtried 0.43 but my problem is still there. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong? My problem is that I occasionally get a HTTP response with status 302 and Location pointing to the new URL. So what I currently do is to run "$m->get($m->res->header('Location')) while $m->status == 302;" after each submit() or follow_link(). What I was hoping for was that this check would be done automatically in submit() etc. Thanks anyway for a great piece of code. Norbert

submit() and follow_link() should indeed follow the redirects for you now. xoxo, Andy -- Andy Lester andy@petdance.com, AIM:petdance http://petdance.com/ http://use.perl.org/~petdance/

OK, now it'll all be good. Mech didn't used to follow a 302 after a POST. It would only follow on GET and HEAD. Now it'll follow on all three. this is in v0.44 that I changed it.
