in thread How to get back the url of a page

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.

    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"; }


    "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
      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. HTTP::Response=HASH(0x1d7f160) at - line 10. http://www.google.com/ at - line 11.
