If it does not follow redirects then that is a bug. Do you have a
test case?
Hmmm
Looking at _trivial_http_get:
if ($code =~ /^30[1237]/ $buf =~ /\012Location:\s*(\S+)/) {
# redirect
So it certainly seems like it's *trying to handle it.
As I recall (it was a late night when I had an application that wasn't
working), I had single stepped down into
Just a word of warning: LWP::Simple doesn't follow redirects (at least,
the last I checked, not sure if it's been changed in the 3 or 4

using it in a context where you're fetching something that won't return a
redirect.

Even better, thanks Stas.

Hello Vijay,
You can make simple HTTP GET or POST requests
using the LWP and HTTP modules. I recommend
that you read the ActivePerl help files.
I have attached the one you really need but
it probably won't make sense unless you read
up on LWP.
# A small sample follows:
use LWP::UserAgent;

OK, lots of banter...
Hey V, if you are on a *NIX system, then this is a fast way:
open U, "lynx -source www.some.url.dom |";
$data = join '', U;
There, you're finished. Admittedly, this isn't terribly efficiant, but it works
just fine and has short devel time.

Hello,
I want to get data from an external url in my perl program (either thru
Embperl Execute or directly from perl). What I need is like this.
There is a URL which gives some information in text format. I want to get
that into a variable or file using perl and using my own html
If you're in a modperl enviroment, and don't use CGI.pm, try using
Apache::Request (I'm not a fan of using Apache.pm for too much). Has
anyone ever considered making a wrapper for all the modules which get
back data from the request (roll Apache::Request, Apache::Cookie, etc,
into one)? Seems
Apache::Request simply maps the Apache object into an Apache::Request
object (I know that sounds like double-speak, but it's late), and adds
some extra methods. I don't think that's what Vijay's original
question is all about.
What's needed is an HTTP::Request object. Look at LWP::UserAgent
