I tried `$mech->uri()` and it gave the original page, not the one redirected to. Sulfericacid wants the uri of the page mech winds-up on after processing any redirects.	[reply] [d/l]

cormanaz is right. This image site sometimes redirects images to an IP address when the servers are getting high traffic. I need to be able to load the original image URL and detect whether or not it's going to redirect me. If so, I need to know what the address is of the image. This is my current set up. `foreach my $pic (@pics) { my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(); $mech->agent_alias( 'Windows IE 6' ); $mech->get($pic); my $location = $mech->uri(); push(@final_pics, "$location"); print "\ntesting $pic with location $location"; }` [download] "Age is nothing more than an inaccurate number bestowed upon us at birth as just another means for others to judge and classify us" sulfericacid	[reply] [d/l]

uri is always the location `use strict; use warnings; use WWW::Mechanize; my $url = 'http://google.com'; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(); warn $url; warn $mech->get($url); warn $mech->uri(); __END__ http://google.com at - line 9.
